Patient anticipation up till' 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'sthrow from home. But I'm as good as gone. (Chorus)I 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 grey ribbon far as I can see. And it's pullin independence outta me. Emancipation, paper chasin' leavin' with question marks And momma's 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 and die in this zip code It might be for me but until I go How am I supposed to know Chorus)I 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 grey ribbon far as I can see. And it's pullin independence outta me. I'm bustin outta independence, independence bustin' outta me(X2) Chorus)I 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 grey ribbon far as I can see. And it's pullin independence outta me. Independence
