Live Free

Prompt

Rugged acoustic rock with mandolin, stomping drums, electric guitar swells and a defiant, anthemic chorus. An anthem for the US state of New Hampshire, proud, warm, radio quality, clear English diction. [Vocals: male lead vocal] [Lyrics] [Verse 1] Granite under everything, the mountains wearing white Mount Washington is making wind that's stronger than the night Purple lilacs by the door, a finch on the rail New Hampshire, you're the strong and small that never seems to fail [Chorus] Live free or die, that's the words we carry From Winnipesaukee to the Whites, from Concord to the ferry Maple red in October, snow in Franconia Notch New Hampshire, you're the ground I stand on and I'll never let you drop [Verse 2] Portsmouth on the harbor, the tugboats painted red A town meeting in March where everybody's heard and said The first vote in the nation up in Dixville Notch at night New Hampshire, you're the first to get it right [Chorus] Live free or die, that's the words we carry From Winnipesaukee to the Whites, from Concord to the ferry Maple red in October, snow in Franconia Notch New Hampshire, you're the ground I stand on and I'll never let you drop [Bridge] Thirteen miles of coastline and a thousand miles of pride New Hampshire, live free, we never hide [Chorus] Live free or die, that's the words we carry From Winnipesaukee to the Whites, from Concord to the ferry Maple red in October, snow in Franconia Notch New Hampshire, you're the ground I stand on and I'll never let you drop
