Patient anticipation
Up 'til 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 gray ribbon far as I can see
And it's pulling Independence out of me
Emancipation or paper chasing
Leaving with question marks and momma's blessing
I put her picture in my pocket
Along 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 gray 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 gray ribbon far as I can see
There's a road like a long gray ribbon far as I can see
And it's pulling Independence out of me
Independence
