Independence
By: The Band Perry
Capo 3rd fret
Patient anticipation up 'til now I've been hurry up and waitin'
At a Bus 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, well I'm as good as gone
I've 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
Em D C (hold)
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see
And it's pullin' Independence out of me
/ /
And it's a patient, paper chasin'
Leaving the question marks in Mama's glass
And 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've 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 gray ribbon as far as I can see
(Mandolin solo) G / D / Em / C / G / D / Em / C
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Independence bustin' out of me.
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Independence bustin' out of me.
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Independence bustin' out of me.
I'm bustin' out of Independence
Em C (hold)
Independence bustin' out of me.
I've 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 gray ribbon as far as I can see
Em D C (hold)
There's a road like a long gray ribbon as far as I can see
And it's pullin' Independence outta me
