Little Houdini

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In fact[00:01:06]

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

Involving trucks[00:01:09]

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

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

Grand Theft Auto[00:01:13]

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:01:23]

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

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

But they failed[00:01:34]

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

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

His mother was dying[00:01:39]

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

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:01:48]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sometimes[00:02:02]

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

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

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

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

His abandonment was reckless[00:02:10]

It prolonged his sentence[00:02:11]

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

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

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

He went the distance[00:02:18]

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

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

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

He visited his dad[00:02:26]

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

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

He paid respects[00:02:30]

Made his peace[00:02:32]

When he was done[00:02:33]

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

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

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

She said:[00:02:39]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

His mother was dying[00:03:11]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After all this stuff[00:03:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:04:41]

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:04:54]

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:05:07]

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

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

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

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

Little Houdini[00:05:21]
