Lyrics for Song: Independence
Lyrics for Album: The Band Perry EP [2010]
Patient, Anticipation
Up til now I've been hurryin' up and waitin'
At a bug stop, in Independence
Lickin' an ice cream cone
I've been kickin'
I've been schemin'
This is as close as I've ever been to leavin'
Five blocks away a stone's throw from home
But I'm as good as gone
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skippin' 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 pullin' Independence out of me
Emancipation, paper chasin'
Leavin' with question marks and momma's blessin'
Put her picture in my pocket
Along with her rosary
Some say I'm crazy, a little loco
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
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skippin' 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 bustin' out of Independence
Independence is bustin' out of me
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Independence is bustin' out of me
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shootin' like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skippin' 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 pullin' Independence out of me.
Independence
