Ma**y Ferguson - Freedom County lyrics

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
