Ian Munsick - Barn Burner Lyrics

She loved that six stall, two loft, daddy bought cedar
Painted devil red, always had hay in the feeder
I was a damn good hand, had a plan to put a rock on hers

I poured a cup a caffeine for the chorin' one morning
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 saying I did, ain't saying 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 nothing worth saving
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 saying I did, ain't saying 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 saying I did, ain't saying 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
