Barn Burner

She loved that six-stall, two-loft, daddy-bought cedar

Painted devil red, always had hay in the feeder

I's a damn good hand, had a plan to put a rock on hers

I poured a cup a caffeine for the chorin' one mornin'

Pulled the latch from the lock, slid the barn door open

She was birthday suitin' with a dude in her boots and spurs

What happened after that is still a blur

She broke my heart then her barn burned down

Like one thing led to the other

Somebody let all her horses out

And then lit it up like a mother

Ain't sayin' I did, ain't sayin' I didn't

But I'm glad it's ashes now

She threw a pitchfork through my heart

Then her barn burned down

Well the neighbor called the sheriff and the sheriff called the station

By the time they got there, there was nothin' worth savin'

Least that's what I heard at the Co-op south of town

Then the deputy came to ask a few questions

Seemed like he wanted a confession

But I was sawin' logs, not burnin' 'em, ask my hound

He just smiled and said, "It's kinda funny how it all went down"

'Cause she broke my heart then her barn burned down

Like one thing led to the other

Somebody let all her horses out

And then lit it up like a mother

Ain't sayin' I did, ain't sayin' I didn't

But I'm glad it's ashes now

She threw a pitchfork through my heart

Then her barn burned down

A wise man once said what goes around

Is always gonna come right back around

She broke my heart then her barn burned down

Like one thing led to the other

Somebody let all her horses out

And then lit it up like a mother

Ain't sayin' I did, ain't sayin' I didn't

But I'm glad it's ashes now

She threw a pitchfork through my heart

Then her barn burned down

She threw a pitchfork through my heart

Then her barn burned down

Alright, boys, burn it down now

I got me a pocket full of matches

I got me a broken heart

When you got a pocket full of matches

A fire's bound to start
