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
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
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
