I caught the Red-Eye at midnight In the nick of time On a seven forty-seven An' we soon were flyin' high
Lord, I had no time to lose Things were gettin' 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
They caught my scent in Richmond At the Hotel Savoy But I got out the Laundry Chute 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 a seven forty-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 [- From: http://www.elyrics.net -] ?You ain't going anywhere?
Well, I want out of the rackets And the numbers game 'Cos when you cross the big boss Only got yourself to blame
I won't sing like a canary And I won't go naming names Well, I don't need police protection Well, 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 Time to lose
I got no time Well, I got no time to lose Well, I got no time Well, I got no time to lose
Well, I got no time Well, I got no time to lose Well, I got no time Well, I got no time to lose
