Long Grey River - Live

Get me on the highway
I know i'm free
They may be fast
But they ain't catching me
Round every corner
I'm already gone
That long grey river
Keeps winding on

The starting gun was popped by the coppers
Saw us dip out the bank from his spot in the donut shop
We didn't stop
As a matter a fact we jacked an suv
And threw the cash in the hatchback
They tried to roadblock we blew right past that
Petal to the metal like we was in the lap
Of the indie 500 not trying to win the race
On the run from the law not trying to catch a case
Gunshots in the windshield it shattered in my face
Kids in the road so i slammed on the breaks
Had a plan to get over to my man's on 8th
What the hell – i forgot about the damn one way
Rule number one expect the unexpected
But they couldn't accept me going up the wrong direction
Through the intersection flashed through the red light
Dipped in the alley way
Turned off the headlights
Wiped down the whip put the money in another bag
Rench pulled up and we dipped into the running jag
Left a hundred stack for the hostages and bailed
Just a little bribe to throw the cops off our trail
Get me on the highway
I know i'm free
They may be fast
But they ain't catching me
Round every corner
I'm already gone
That long grey river
Keeps winding on

We had a plan to break out met up at the safehouse
Did the job in masks so it was cool to have my face out
Decided to make our way south and cool down at sasha's spot
We was unsure of whether the block was hot or not
We found out that a cop was shot the day after the heist
Anyone that they caught would have to pay the price
So we played it precise and went according to the plan
Chilled for the night
And in the morning we ran
Rench took the van
We dumped the jag and torched it
Found the first whip on the block
For sale and we bought it
Forfeited just a little bit from the job
And d hit the road in a 97 saab
Dropped me off at the cabstand
The cops one step ahead of us
They covered the airports
I hopped on the megabus
Kept my cool
Stayed calm and inconspicuous
The jakes were looking for the cop killer instead of us
D took the saab to a heleport in va
Rench drove the van down to sasha's on the freeway
We hit the spot that evening
Divy up the paper
And get our shit reorganized to plan another caper
