The Last of the Independents (Live & Remastered) Lyrics
I caught the Red-Eye at midnight
In the nick of time
On the seven four sevenAnd 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.
