The Band Perry Independence lyrics

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
