《Little Houdini》歌词

[00:00:00] Little Houdini - Sage Francis

[00:00:48] Christopher Daniel Gay was arrested on a Friday

[00:00:52] In Florida at the Daytona International Speedway

[00:00:55] He was a fugitive on the run

[00:00:57] Christopher made a quick escape

[00:00:59] While being transported in a van

[00:01:00] That was picking up convicts state to state

[00:01:02] He did it during a bathroom break

[00:01:04] He hot-wired somebody's pickup

[00:01:06] In fact

[00:01:07] Christopher had a long history of theft

[00:01:09] Involving trucks

[00:01:10] He was on route to Alabama

[00:01:11] For stealing someone's travel trailer

[00:01:13] Grand Theft Auto

[00:01:14] He was a career criminal jailbird

[00:01:16] Who also had three outstanding warrants

[00:01:19] In his home state of Tennessee

[00:01:20] It was an outstanding performance that set him free

[00:01:23] Little Houdini

[00:01:24] Stole a big rig then a tour bus that belonged to Crystal Gayle

[00:01:28] To evade a five state manhunt that wanted to put that birdy back in jail

[00:01:34] But they failed

[00:01:36] 'Cause Christopher wasn't just running from cops

[00:01:37] Christopher Gay was now racing a clock

[00:01:39] His mother was dying

[00:01:40] And there was no time to be held

[00:01:41] Inside of a cage with locks

[00:01:42] So y'all can turn up your nose

[00:01:44] And suck on your teeth and wag your finger like tsk-tsk

[00:01:47] But he had to take the risk

[00:01:48] Little Houdini

[00:01:49] There wasn't a single thing sinister in his decision

[00:01:51] To break from the prison

[00:01:52] His only motive was to go back to his childhood home

[00:01:55] While his mom was still living

[00:01:56] It wasn't a house

[00:01:57] More like an old mobile camper

[00:01:59] Where she was bedridden diagnosed with colon cancer

[00:02:02] Sometimes

[00:02:03] The only answer we're left with

[00:02:04] When a loved one's name is on the death list

[00:02:06] Is to head for the exits and go home

[00:02:08] Christopher got the hell out of Texas

[00:02:10] His abandonment was reckless

[00:02:11] It prolonged his sentence

[00:02:12] Y'all can forget it

[00:02:13] He had numerous convictions and none were as strong as this

[00:02:17] Unless you consider the other instance

[00:02:18] He went the distance

[00:02:19] Similar situation it was a bizarre coincidence

[00:02:22] When he escaped from the prison the first time

[00:02:24] Not this time but the one before

[00:02:26] He visited his dad

[00:02:27] Cause he was dying inside of a mental ward

[00:02:29] Suffering from Alzheimer's

[00:02:30] He paid respects

[00:02:32] Made his peace

[00:02:33] When he was done

[00:02:33] He didn't run

[00:02:34] He returned himself back to the police

[00:02:37] That's when his mom made her plea

[00:02:39] She said:

[00:02:40] "He knows what he done was wrong

[00:02:43] But he knows his father don't got long

[00:02:46] He's not a fugitive on the run

[00:02:50] He's not dangerous he's our son

[00:02:52] He ain't never hurt no one

[00:02:54] He knows what he's done was wrong

[00:02:57] But he knows his father don't got long

[00:03:00] He's not a fugitive on the run

[00:03:03] He's our son"

[00:03:05] This ain't no country western song

[00:03:08] Christopher wasn't just running from cops

[00:03:09] Christopher Gay was now racing a clock

[00:03:11] His mother was dying

[00:03:12] And there was no time to be held

[00:03:13] Inside of a cage with locks

[00:03:14] So y'all can go on tossing rocks

[00:03:16] And talk your talk like tsk tsk

[00:03:18] Meanwhile Chris is stealing a tractor trailer from Wal-Mart

[00:03:21] An 18 wheeler he's peeling rubber the bird takes flight down turnpikes

[00:03:24] Three hundred thousand dollars worth of merchandise

[00:03:27] But it ain't worth her life

[00:03:28] Ran it off the road and abandoned it

[00:03:30] 50 yards from his moms to avoid the cops

[00:03:32] Thats half a football field from her feeble arms

[00:03:35] After all this stuff

[00:03:36] The tour bus the pick up trucks

[00:03:37] The tractor trailer interstate chases

[00:03:39] He put on the brakes and couldn't get close enough

[00:03:42] The news reporters told people to lock their doors

[00:03:44] Like there was a monster on the loose

[00:03:46] But there was no truth to those reports

[00:03:48] His mom had weeks to live

[00:03:50] And Chris had years to serve

[00:03:51] They were within shouting distance

[00:03:53] But I don't think he heard her final words

[00:03:56] I don't think he heard her final words

[00:03:59] She made her plea to the TV

[00:04:01] "He knows what he's done was wrong

[00:04:04] But he knows his mama don't got long

[00:04:08] He's not a fugitive on the run

[00:04:11] He's not dangerous he's my son

[00:04:13] He ain't never hurt no one

[00:04:15] He knows what he's done was wrong

[00:04:18] But he knows his mama don't got long

[00:04:21] He's not a fugitive on the run

[00:04:24] He's my son"

[00:04:26] This ain't no country western song

[00:04:28] The third time he escaped from a state cop at a Georgia pit-stop

[00:04:31] He just slipped out of the handcuffs he jumped ship then he took off

[00:04:35] With no father to visit and no mom to go home to

[00:04:38] Just an open road where he could be free

[00:04:41] Little Houdini

[00:04:42] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:04:45] Just a wide open sky where he could fly

[00:04:48] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:04:51] Just an open road where he could be free

[00:04:54] Little Houdini

[00:04:55] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:04:58] Just a wide open sky where he could fly

[00:05:02] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:05:05] Just an open road where he could be free

[00:05:07] Little Houdini

[00:05:08] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:05:12] Just a wide open sky where he could fly

[00:05:15] With no father to visit no mom to go home to

[00:05:18] Just an open road where he could be free

[00:05:21] Little Houdini
