Barn Storming

My father was a haystack man
Always said son go a find what you can
Said the guns get jammed up in the sand
Don't let them try to fool you

I said but daddy we ain't fightin' the cong no more
He said you're going over there to lose the very same war
I said nothing you can do is gonna make me stay
Gotta let others have their glory day

But you know the whole town's gettin' together in Leeland's barn
Everyone's gettin' there nice shoes on
Girls are all cuttin' up their confirmation dresses
Streets will be empty tomorrow as the whole town confesses

It's a barn storming yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Won't hold a head of sorrow

'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak
A lovely heartbreak

Now Ginny she was up to no good
As up to no good as she could sometimes be
I used to lie awake at night
Just thinkin' about her being up to no good with me
She said just like the flower to the bees
I'm gonna give you a little somethin' before you go over seas
All I could do was stammer
Yes yes please and look in the other direction

'Cause it's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Won't hold a head of sorrow

'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak
A lovely heartbreak

'Cause I never been laid and so it goes
Never danced before so stoned
It was the first time I didn't want to go
Now I wish I could take it all back again

She spit in my hand
Said boy I'm gonna make you a man
It was all I could do to stand
And ask the levy to hold

It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Gonna hold a head of sorrow
It's a lovely heartbreak
A lovely heartbreak
