about

My best songs are written in less than 5 minutes. This is one of those.

lyrics

Green Barn

I feel so lonely still I want to be alone
Cause tonight I just can’t stop myself; I’m going down
I know where I’m headed is not where I should be
And I can’t help but think you could have been a better friend to me

I get in my truck and drive out of town
I smell rain in the air, man, it’s coming down
On the other side of the field by the old green barn
I pull up in front, turn the lights out, but leave the radio on

The dust explodes where each raindrop falls
I wish this wind would pick me up, barn and all
And when it set us back down the story begins
Only this time I get to be who I really am

What does it take to make a life ring true
Can you live not knowing; I think some people do
But they know something I don’t, and that aint saying much
I consider the source to be out of touch

I know it’s wrong but I wish I would die
And return as a storm that could bring down the sky
Over this old green barn, where once we both stood
And I’d know what I was here for, that I’d done good
