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 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
