Independence Dave

I got no shame, I ain't to blame, I got no memory

I got no conscience on my shoulder there to bother me

I'm on a trip without a script, into oblivion

I guess that's just the way I like to play to have some fun

I don't need a toke or have a smoke to try to clear my head

Ain't no use, already loose when I roll out of bed

I got no future, got no past, got no eternity

Don't need to know, just gotta go, that's my reality

I'm all alone, I got no phone, I don't communicate

I got no pace, ain't in the race, so I'm never late

Don't need to cook or read a book, don't need to wash or shave

See I am free to be just me, I'm Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave

I got a girl, she's just a pearl from down in St. Clair Shore

But, there's a brother of another knockin' down my door

I got some money from a honey livin' way downtown

And there's this one who's got a gun, that's tryin' to hunt me down

I try to love 'em all, but I ain't no one's slave

'Cause when the rubber hits the road, I'm Independence Dave

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

There's two subpoenas, they're so mean as to suggest that I'm

The major perpetrator of a minor crime

They got my name on their claim, but anyone could see

Since I'm never anywhere, it clearly wasn't me

It's not that I'm so innocent or well-behaved

It's just that I'm the one and only Independence Dave

Woo!

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

Woo!

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

He's Dave, Independence Dave (Whoa)

Woo!
