The Last Of The Independents |
| I caught the Red-Eye at midnight |
| In the nick of time |
| On the seven four seven |
| And we soon were flying high. |
| Lord, I had no time to lose |
| Things were getting hot |
| Only I know where we stashed the loot |
| The mob wants to know the spot. |
| They got the muscle in from Cleveland |
| The fire-power from Detroit |
| They missed me in New Jersey |
| Though things got pretty tight. |
| Caught my scent in Richmond |
| At the Hotel Savoy |
| But I got out the laundry shute |
| And went to Chicago, Illinois. |
| I’m the Last of the Independants |
| Yeah, they’re searching coast to coast |
| Only I know where we hid the loot |
| Eleven years ago. |
| I caught the Red-Eye at midnight |
| In the nick of time |
| On the seven four seven |
| We soon were high and wide. |
| The moon was laughing at me like it did not have a care |
| But I just smiled right back and said |
| 'You ain’t going anywhere'. |
| Well, I want out of the rackets |
| And the numbers game |
| 'Cos when you cross the big boss |
| You only got yourself to blame. |
| I won’t sing like a canary |
| And I won’t go naming names. |
| I don’t need police protection |
| I’ll play it my own way. |
| I’m the Last of the Independants |
| Well, I play by my own rules. |
| Yes, I’m the Last of the Independants |
| The Syndicate, well, it don’t approve. |
| Well, I’m the Last of the Independants |
| Well, I got to keep on the move. |
| Well, I’m the Last of the Independants |
| Well, I got no time to lose |
| Time to lose. |
