Lyrics : The Band Perry
Music : The Band Perry
Patient  anticipation
Up  till  now  I  be  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,well  i'm  as  good  as  gone
I  gotta  get  gone,gone,gone
shooting  like  a  gun,a  gun,a  gun
skipping  like  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
Put  her  picture  in  my  pocket  along  with  her  rosary
Oh,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  suppost  to  know?
I  gotta  get  gone,gone,gone
shooting  like  a  gun,a  gun,a  gun
skipping  like  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  x2
Well,I  gotta  get  gone,gone,gone
shooting  like  a  gun,a  gun,a  gun
skipping  like  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  x2
And  it's  pulling  independence  out  of  me.
Independence.
