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 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

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
