Independence

Written by Kimberly Perry, Reid Perry, Neil Perry, Brian Henningsen, Clara Henningsen, Aaron Henningsen

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
As 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
As 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
