lyrics

That old barn is still standing in the back yard
Faded and worn like the hand of my grandpa
Hasn’t seen a coat of paint since ‘58
At least that what they used to say
Now the board and baton’s cracking and splitting
And the rain drips through it like an old man pissing
Might make you laugh saying that way
But they want to tear it down cause they’re building a highway


It took a whole town full of good intentions
The type of folks that were kind and willing
To raise that roof and build that barn
That’s a monument there in my back yard
They ain’t got hope in hell in winning
Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him
With my shotgun loaded in the candle light
I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night

I remember as a kid I would play in the hay loft
Finding hidden treasures that were buried and long lost
When I was 13, I first got kissed
In was in that old barn and it was right on the lips
Now many years have gone since momma sold the stock off
Cause Daddy was gone and I was just a young buck
Through the trying times and the crazy hurtin
We made it through, yeah, we made it work

It took a whole town full of good intentions
The type of folks that were kind and willing
To raise that roof and build that barn
That’s a monument there in my back yard
They ain’t got hope in hell in winning
Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him
With my shotgun loaded in the candle light
I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night

It took a whole town full of good intentions
The type of folks that were kind and willing
To raise that roof and build that barn
That’s a monument there in my back yard
They ain’t got hope in hell in winning
Daddy died in that barn and I’ll be right there with him
With my shotgun loaded in the candle light
I’ll hear them coming, I’ll be up all night
