Barn Burns Down

Well joe was out in his field one day
Shucking corn and bailing hay
Here came sue, the neighbor's wife
With a glass of tea and a dress too tight
All the women knew all over town
Joe had the biggest barn around
He was showing it off to sue one night
When they both saw a flickering light
It didn't take long until the hay caught fire
They ran out as the flames went higher
Hell, he barely had his pants on yet
When a bullet buzzed right by joe's head

Rumors and embers burn all over town
You play with fire you leave ash on the ground
Lessons we learn are so simple and true yet profound
Shuck another man's corn and your barn burns down

Joe started running for his life
Sue should have been there close behind
She ran back to her husband's arms
Can't make no money if you got no barn
Nobody knows what became of joe
He just disappeared went up in smoke
I ain't saying sue gets around
But, just last week another barn burned down

Rumors and embers burn all over town
You play with fire you leave ash on the ground
Lessons we learn are so simple and true yet profound
Shuck another man's corn and your barn burns down

Rumors and embers burn all over town
You play with fire you leave ash on the ground
Lessons we learn are so simple and true yet profound
Shuck another man's corn, milk another man's cow
Wake up in the morning and your barn's burned down

Barn burns down
You shouldn't be playing with fire son
