Lyrics
i ve paid a lot for my freedom
Another minute i ll be far away, down the avenue, it was so close but i passed them by
yeah i ll be telling you to hold on
strapped in my four forty hemmy burning
i never wondered why
Long live fat city, another second i ll be shifting gears
I must confess, down the avenue
a hundred more miles i ll be long gone
You re worth everything i know, i must confess, a hundred more miles i ll be long gone
I ve gone through a lot for my freedom, up ahead says rest for riders
it was so close but i passed them by
Another minute i ll be far away, no more fighting or scrapes to survive
they ll never arrest me man yeah right
Got caught up with the wild and the madness, up ahead says rest for riders
gun shots all around over my head
Left home everything i own, long live fat city, up ahead says rest for riders
So i look into my rear view mirror, strapped in my four forty hemmy burning, set this town alight
Gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake, long live fat city
i may have gone too far i must confess
they re closer than they do appear
Yeah i ll be telling you to hold on, long live fat city City, down the avenue
They ll never arrest me man yeah right, i may have gone too far i must confess
Got my money hid away in the gas tank, there was a space by the policeman
got caught up with the wild and the madness
I must confess, i found my way out the backstreet
There was a space by the policeman, they re closer than they will appear Michael, got nothin to lose
Got caught up with the wild and the madness, it was so close but i passed them by N.O., i found my way out the backstreet
I never wondered why, they ll never arrest me man yeah right
My memory s clear and reminds me daily, long live fat city new orleans Michael, another minute i ll be far away
I may have gone too far i must confess, they re closer than they do appear Fat, long live fat city
My memory s clear and reminds me daily, long live fat city new orleans
I ve paid a lot for my freedom, a hundred more miles i ll be long gone
Look into my rear view mirror, it was so close but i passed them by, long live fat city
gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake
So i look into my rear view mirror, they re closer than they will appear
another minute i ll be far away
Long live fat city, a hundred more miles i ll be long gone
As i headed to join the charade, long live fat city, my memory s clear and reminds me daily
Got nothin to lose, they re closer than they do appear, lost a life along the way
Out blowing a fuse, there was a space by the policeman
Another minute i ll be far away, so i look into my rear view mirror City, there was a space by the policeman
i ve gone through a lot for my freedom
Look into my rear view mirror, lost a life along the way Schenker, i found my way out the backstreet
up ahead says rest for riders
they re closer than they will appear
Another second i ll be shifting gears, as i headed to join the charade
Look into my rear view mirror, i may have gone too far i must confess, there was a space by the policeman
