D D7 G
Well I'm doin' ten to twenty in the frozen granite state
D A
And every day I go to work to stamp our license plates
D D7 G
Everyday I go to work and every night I cry
D A D D7
Cause every license plate I make tells me to live free or die
G D
Live free or die, oh lord tell me why
A
Can't they say seatbelts fastened or Oklahoma is OK
G D
Vacation land sounds mighty great, I wouldn't mind stampin out the garden state
A D
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
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 go a different license plate
Chorus
