Well, I'm doing 10 to 20 in the frozen granite state
And every day I go to work to stamp out license plates
Well, every day I go to work and every night I cry
Cause every license plate I make tells me to live free or die
Well, live free or die, oh Lord, tell me why can't they say
Seatbelts fastened or Oklahoma is okay
Vacation land sounds mighty great
I wouldn't mind stamping out the garden state
It's enough to make me cry
Well, live free or die
You know, I didn't mean to shoot that man
Why, the gun just went off in my hand
But I caught him with my wife
And it cost that man his life
I'd just come home from the factory
And that guy was sitting where I'm supposed to be
Now he's up there in the sky and I'm stuck with
Live free or die
Well, live free or die, oh Lord, tell me why can't they say
Seatbelts fastened or Oklahoma is okay
Vacation land sounds mighty great
I wouldn't mind stamping out the garden state
It's enough to make me cry
Well, 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
And if you catch your wife with another man
It's best to hold off as long as you can
Then shoot them in another state
Where they got a different license plate
Well, live free or die, oh Lord, tell me why can't they say
Seatbelts fastened or Oklahoma is okay
Vacation land sounds mighty great
I wouldn't mind stamping out the garden state
It's enough to make me cry
Well, live free or die
Oh, lo, lo
