The Band Perry - Independence Lyrics

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
But this is as close as I've ever been to leaving
5 blocks away, a stones 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 out of me

Emancipation and paper chasin'
Leaving with question marks and mamas 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 a 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 bustin' out of Independence
Independence bustin' out of me
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Independence bustin' 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 out of me
