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      Chorus   Live Free or Die   Oh Lord tell me why   Can’t they say seatbelts fastened   Or Oklahoma is OK   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      Repeat Chorus      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
