Freedom County

In the spring of '95 a crowd gathered here
 With steely eyes and a mind on secession
 Down the Stilly banks to the Rome Restaurant
 They took their oaths, wrote their own laws
 Tired of paying tax to the big city folks
 Tired of legal devils in black robes
 Down in Olympia fighting court
 Yeah, it's gonna be a little while
 But liberty bucks don't pay for the fees
 They'd start a revolution then somehow
 Take back from the county all the land that's torn down
 They said twelve thousand strong, the long arm of the law
 The county and beauracrats combined can't stop us all
 And bring militia in if not by legal means
 Till they give us Freedom County 'cause we know they pack heat
 Well, Sherriff Bart got word of this
 With a clench jaw and balled up fist
 A thousand mile line in the sand
 Stokes was sent down to make a statement
 The local Herald had him pinned
 He said rise up boys it's only the start
 They'd settle things the old fashioned way
 Irregardless of what police might have to say
 He said twelve thousand strong, let's keep soldiering on
 When the system is corrupt you got to manage to take the law
 Gonna be a showdown with Sheriff Bart and us patriots in the street
 'Til they give us Freedom County cause they know we pack heat
 They made written threats to governor
 Threats of PCP in water
 The county on the edge of its seat
 He'd start the fire, old Saterlee
 With iron grip on the property
 Take a map and draw their own lines
 Start a revolution here and now
 Take back from the county all the land they're tearing down
 Twelve thousand strong, the long arm of the law
 The county and beauracrats combined can't stop em all
 Gonna be a showdown with Sheriff Bart and the patriots in the street
 Till we give them freedom county cause we know they pack heat
