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
