Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
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
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 Im 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
x 2
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
