Patient, anticipation
Up till now I've been hurry up and waiting
At a bus stop in Independence
Licking an ice cream cone
I've been kicking, I've been scheming
This is as close as I've ever been to leaving
Five blocks away
A stone's throw from home
But I'm as good as gone
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long grey ribbon far as I can see
And it's pulling Independence outta me
Emancipation, paper chasing
Leaving with question marks and momma's blessing
Put her picture in my pocket, 'long with her rosary
Some say I'm crazy, a little loco
And most of my friends will live and die in this zip code
It might be for me, but until I go
How am I ever supposed to know
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long grey ribbon far as I can see
I'm busting out of independence
Independence busting out of me
I'm busting out of Independence
Independence busting out of me
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like a stone, stone, stone
Far as I can run to where freedom is free
There's a road like a long grey ribbon, far as I can see
There's a road like a long grey ribbon, far as I can see
And it's pulling Independence outta me
Independence
