lyrics

I'm gonna live free til the day I die
I'm gonna be me assistance why
I'm gonna live free til the day I die
Until I die Until I die Until I die

Out of high school I'm on my own
Go to a pharmacy lay down and turn off my phone
700 Milligrams when I'm all alone
I'm on my own I'm on my own I'm on my own

Watching someones house I'll be living free
Birthday tomorrow come hang out with me
Medicine runnin down I need to leave
I need to leave I need to leave I need to leave

Turn my phone back on calls from family
Ignore them all try and text Emily
Drive down Crawford Road memories
A memory a memory a memory

Birthday turn 19
Ignore them all besides 700mgs
Now I'm in jail class 5 felony
A felony A felony A felony

And I'll be singing

I'm gonna live free til the day I die
But Collect calls are costly and so is jail time
So buy me a lawyer before I die
before I die before I die before I die

and if you ain't got the Do Re Mi boys
You ain't got the Do Re Mi
Then you better head back to beautiful Virginia
Oklahoma Kansas Georgia Tennessee

I'll play this and then I'll realize
This sounds kinda Guthrie
And probably too much Andrew Jackson Jihad
but I'm living free I'm living free I'm living free
