THE LAST OF THE INDEPENDENTS As recorded by Rory Gallagher (From the 1978 Album PHOTO-FINISH) [Intro] [Verse 1] I caught the Red-Eye at midnight In the nick of time On the seven fourty seven And 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. [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] 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. [Chorus] I’m the Last of the Independents Yeah they’re searching coast to coast Only I know where we hid the loot Eleven years ago. [Guitar Solo]     [Verse 2] I caught the Red-Eye at midnight In the nick of time On the seven fourty 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’. [Interlude] [Pre-Chorus] 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. [Chorus] I’m the Last of the Independents Well I play by my own rules. Yes I’m the Last of the Independents The Syndicate well it don’t approve. Well I’m the Last of the Independents Well I got to keep on the move. Well I’m the Last of the Independents Well I got no time to lose Time to lose. [Interlude] [Outro] Well I got no time I got no time to lose Well I got no time I got no time to lose Well I got no time I got no time to lose Well I got no time I got no time to lose

La chanson évoque le parcours d’un homme en fuite, qui a bien des secrets à protéger. Il se retrouve dans une course contre la montre, échappant à des poursuivants déterminés qui veulent découvrir où il a caché un butin datant de plusieurs années. Son esprit rebelle se manifeste alors qu'il refuse de collaborer avec les forces de l'ordre et s'accroche à son indépendance, vivant selon ses propres règles. Le contexte peut faire penser à un monde où la criminalité règne et où la loyauté est rare. L'artiste dépeint le portrait d'un homme qui, en dépit de la pression, choisit de suivre son propre chemin, ignorant les attentes des autres. Cela reflète une certaine quête de liberté et de résistance face aux forces établies, un thème qui résonne encore aujourd'hui.
