Band Perry, The - Independence Lyrics
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
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
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
I'm busting out of independence
Independence's busting out of me
I'm busting out of independence
Independence's 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.
Independence.

Band Perry, The Independence Comments
I'm hearing this in 2020.
I want to say the next is my favorite part of the song.
" Says I'm crazy, a little loco and most of my friends will live and die at this zip code, it might be for me but until I gone. " this is surely clearer for all people, when you says you will belong at the first place where did you live. Your country, your neighborhood , your friends, and obviously yourself. When you are still real in this crazy and weirdly world.
love their lyrics
They are just so great, she is superb. randomly came into my head today
Such a talented family!
Incredible! Such a talented family!

Patient anticipation
Up 'til now I be 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 been to leaving
Five blocks away, a stone's throw away 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 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 supposed to know?
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like 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
I'm busting out of independence
Independence is busting out of me
I'm busting out of independence
Independence is busting out of me
I gotta get gone, gone, gone
Shooting like a gun, a gun, a gun
Skipping like 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.
Independence.
Just beautiful
Love ur music I really do so please make more thank u
Kimberly Perry on the song, YOU LIE, when you called me out in Wichita Ks in 2008 or 2009, my ex GF stole everything you kindly gave me. Your guitar pic, your set list, the photos i took of you, she got mad when you offered to allow me to meet you backstage. It was a 10 below outside. She told me that if I went to meet you she was gonna leave out to walk in that weather. And Uber wasnt available at the time. Taxi's were expensive as can be. Let me say thank you for making my night. I wish there could have been more, sorry that she got jealous and she is no longer in my life and her jealousy is the reason why I left her the next night. I left her for the right reason.
This is about my hometown Independence Mo
Enemies

Amazing, I used to love them. What happened to them? Are they still making music?
Yeah but they've gone pop unfortunately :(
and Kemberly has changed her whole look. it really looks horrible. she has went brunette. it is really depressing
Kimberly, I think I love you
James Rockford
We're the best of United States of America.
Why this song was never released as a single is beyond me. One of their bests.
Independence, Missouri
"Most of my friends will live and die in this ZIP code"--good line.
Is that the town it's about? I thought it was Independence,TX. I pass by there on my drive to college and this songs pops in my head.
+Brie Pate I have always bragged about Independence Mo and wear this song as a badge of honor

Love ya TBP
You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!
@klstars773 Thanks :D
@seddiexftw Yes. They Co-write them with other songwriters or between the 3 of them.
Do they write their songs??
Wow... That was so... Beautifull <3
Best part? 0:00 to 4:01
@MissLexie2 its called a mandolin
@AaronRodgersIsHot the one with the longer hair haha
The lyrics are good, and the acoustic touch is nice. They are playing in a key that forces her to drop octaves at awkward moments. Pretty good for a live performance though.
@AaronRodgersIsHot Neil is the one with the small guitar thing, and Reid is the one on the bass (: Hope that helps
Why am I smiling and feeling so good? Thanks Perrys. I cant wait to see you in DC. I love you all.
@sugarland97k74j70k Which one is Reid? I don't know oe of the guys from the other.

i cant stop listening to them they r the best!!!!!!!
I'm lovin' that guy with the trouty mouth :D
GOOD GOD that girl is hot.
not many artists still sound good without all the crap, and this band is one of those few. i hate all the fake ones
I lovvve these guys. This song was my favorite, now it's tied to All Your Life and Walk Me Down The Middle (: <3
I can't stop replaying this song...they are soooo good!
@megabubblez98 :)
im like tearing up<3
@PotentialGrows brain over matter haha<3

EVEN if you feel FEAR act BRAVE...VIOLENCE does not solve anything..DON'T let because of them YOU LOSE YOUR FREEDOM! the MIND can win any BATTLE..brain OVER brawn!!

The Band Perry is now one of my top favorite bands
i will totally post this to my facebook
I saw them live a couple months ago. When we met them after the show they were so sweet and they were amazing! I recomend seeing them live, it's amazing!! XD
I sooooo wanna see them live, they're one of my favorites!
@alyssamae4 agreed. loved em
i dont just like it ,,i love it!!!! now this is country music
I bought the CD a few month back, after my youngest daughter played me "If I die young" on u-tube. I am now listening to the videos made in Nashville with just the three of them and they sound even better then the CD. Wish they would produce a CD like that!
i found the kind of girl to look for :) she is my dream
@guitarsteve6190 Really?... this is a great song and you had to mess it up being dirty? dont you have any respect? :/..
Please vote for The Band Perry at voteacm,com - Only a few hours left so hurry!!
I love how this song can be so simple, yet so unique due to the harmonization of the singers' voices altogether.
Sounds awesome!
good song
These kids are pretty amazing. I wish them all the best.
@newBIGmedia I think you're right. lol
