Hayes Carll - Live Free Or Die Lyrics

Well, I'm doin' ten to twenty
In the frozen granite state
And every day I go to work
To stamp out license plates

Everyday I got to work
And every night I cry
'Cause every license plate I make
Tells me to live free or die

Live free or die, oh Lord. tell me why
Can't they say seat belts fastened
Or Oklahoma is okay
Vacation land sounds mighty great

I wouldn't mind stampin'
Out the Garden State
It's enough to make me cry
Live free or die

Well, I didn't mean to shoot that man
Why the gun just went off in my hand
I caught him with my wife
And it cost that man his life

I'd just got home from the factory
And that man was sittin' where I'm supposed to be
Now he's up there in the sky
And I'm stuck with live free or die

Live free or die, oh Lord. tell me why
Can't they say seat belts fastened
Or Oklahoma is okay
Vacation land sounds mighty great

I wouldn't mind stampin'
Out the Garden State
It's enough to make me cry
Live free or die

So let this be a lesson
To all you married men out there
That patience is a virtue
So make your plans with care

So if you catch your wife with another man
It's best to hold off as long as you can
Then shoot him in another state
Where they got a different license plate
