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]
