[Verse 1]
She loved that six-stall, two-loft, daddy-bought cedar
Painted devil red, always had hay in the feeder
I's a damn good hand, had a plan to put a rock on hers
I poured a cup a caffeine for the chorin' one mornin'
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
[Chorus]
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 mothеr
Ain't sayin' I did, ain't sayin' I didn't
But I'm glad it's ashes now
She threw a pitchfork through my hеart
Then her barn burned down
[Verse 2]
Well the neighbor called the sheriff and the sheriff called the station
By the time they got there, there was nothin' worth savin'
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"
[Chorus]
'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 sayin' I did, ain't sayin' I didn't
But I'm glad it's ashes now
She threw a pitchfork through my heart
Then her barn burned down
[Bridge]
A wise man once said what goes around
Is always gonna come right back around
[Chorus]
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 sayin' I did, ain't sayin' 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
[Outro]
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
