The big barn is burnin'
Baby let's watch it burn
The big barn is burnin' down
Baby let's watch it burn

There's a crow on the cradle
There's a storm in the sky
There's a hole in the ground
There's a tear in an eye
There's a damn good reason
But it don't make sense
There's cause to believe it's coincidence

When I look in your eyes I see paradise
Wanna love you little darlin' seventeen times twice
Wanna roll you in the cotton
Wanna cross the state line
Told the demons and the angels
You were born to be mine

And now the big barn is burnin'
Baby let's watch it burn
The big barn is burnin' down
Baby let's watch it burn

Got a bottle in my pocket
Got some herb in my shoe
Got debts piled up that are long overdue
Had drinks in the mornin'
But I'm thirsty again
Ain't known your sweet lovin' since you know when

Now the big barn is burnin'
Baby let's watch it burn
The big barn is burnin' down
Baby let's watch it burn

Well I told you a long time ago
That it would come down
It's a powder keg scene in a matchbox town
See the black smoke rise
Hear the cracklin' sound
Smell the cinders of the timbers
As they light on the ground

The big barn is burnin'
Baby come and watch it burn
The big barn is burnin' down
Baby let's watch it burn
Baby let's watch it burn
Baby let's watch it burn
Let's watch it burn
