Daniel Gay was arrested on a |
|
FridayIn Florida at the |
|
Daytona International |
|
SpeedwayHe was a fugitive on the run, |
|
Christopher made a quick escapewhile being transported in a vanthat was picking up convicts state to state. |
|
He did it during a bathroom break,he hot-wired somebody's pickup |
|
In fact,Christopher had a long history of theftinvolving trucks, |
|
He was on route to |
|
Alabamafor stealing someone's travel trailer |
|
Grand Theft |
|
AutoHe was a career criminal, jailbirdwho also had three outstanding warrantsin his home state of |
|
TennesseeIt was an outstanding performance that set him free |
|
Little Houdini |
|
Stole a big rig, then a tour bus that belonged to |
|
Crystal Gayleto evade a five state manhunt that wanted to put that birdy back in jailbut they failed'cause |
|
Christopher wasn't just running from cops |
|
Christopher |
|
Gay was now racing a clockhis mother was dyingand there was no time to be heldinside of a cage with locksso y'all can turn up your noseand suck on your teeth and wag your finger like tsk-tskbut he had to take the risk |
|
Little Houdini |
|
There wasn't a single thing sinister in his decisionto break from the prison |
|
His only motive was to go back to his childhood homewhile his mom was still livingit wasn't a housemore like an old mobile camperwhere she was bedridden diagnosed with colon cancer |
|
Sometimes, |
|
The only answer we're left withwhen a loved one's name is on the death list |
|
Is to head for the exits and go home |
|
Christopher got the hell out of |
|
TexasHis abandonment was reckless |
|
It prolonged his sentence |
|
Y'all can forget it |
|
He had numerous convictions and none were as strong as this |
|
Unless you consider the other instance |
|
He went the distance |
|
Similar situation, it was a bizarre coincidence |
|
When he escaped from the prison the first time, |
|
Not this time, but the one before |
|
He visited his dad |
|
Cause he was dying inside of a mental ward |
|
Suffering from |
|
Alzheimer's |
|
He paid respects |
|
Made his peace |
|
When he was done |
|
He didn't run |
|
He returned himself back to the police |
|
That's when his mom made her plea |
|
She said:"He knows what he done was wrong,but he knows his father don't got longHe's not a fugitive on the runHe's not dangerous, he's our sonhe ain't never hurt no oneHe knows what he's done was wrong,but he knows his father don't got longHe's not a fugitive on the runHe's our son" |
|
This ain't no country western song. |
|
Christopher wasn't just running from cops |

|
So y'all can go on tossing rocks |
|
And talk your talk like tsk tsk |
|
Meanwhile |
|
Chris is stealing a tractor trailer from |
|
Wal-MartAn 18 wheeler, he's peeling rubber the bird takes flight down turnpikes |
|
Three hundred thousand dollars worth of merchandise,but it ain't worth her life |
|
Ran it off the road, and abandoned it50 yards from his moms to avoid the cops |
|
Thats half a football field from her feeble arms |
|
After all this stuff |
|
The tour bus, the pick up trucks |
|
The tractor trailer, interstate chases |
|
He put on the brakes and couldn't get close enough |
|
The news reporters told people to lock their doors |
|
Like there was a monster on the loosebut there was no truth to those reports. |
|
His mom had weeks to live |
|
And Chris had years to serve |
|
They were within shouting distance |
|
But I don't think he heard her final words. |
|
I don't think he heard her final words. |
|
She made her plea to the |
|
TV"He knows what he's done was wrong,but he knows his mama don't got longHe's not a fugitive on the runHe's not dangerous, he's my sonhe ain't never hurt no oneHe knows what he's done was wrong,but he knows his mama don't got longHe's not a fugitive on the runHe's not dangerous, he's my son" |
|
This ain't no country western song. |
|
The third time he escaped from a state cop at a |
|
Georgia pit-stop |
|
He just slipped out of the handcuffs, he jumped ship then he took off |
|
With no father to visit and no mom to go home to |
|
Just an open road where he could be free |
|
Little Houdini |
|
With no father to visit, no mom to go home to |
|
Just a wide open sky where he could fly |
|
With no father to visit, no mom to go home to |
|
Just an open road where he could be free |
|
Little Houdini |
|
With no father to visit, no mom to go home to |
|
Just a wide open sky where he could fly |
|
With no father to visit, no mom to go home to |
|
Just an open road where he could be free |
