Standin' in the dead grass
Off n' my backyard
I'm lookin' at them oak trees
And my old barn
All I ever had
Locked up in here
My love and my hate
My hope and my fear
Friends and lovers
People from the past
They're all goin' down
In a mighty blast
I light a match
I light it to the ground
And this old barn
Is goin' down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Gone down with me
My boots, my saddle
Well I don't need no more
All left behind
Them old barn doors
And the Lord and the Devil
Watchin' over me
Can go to Hell and Heaven
'Cause I was born free
I light a match
I light it to the ground
And this old barn
Is goin' down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Gone down with me, yeah
And the Lord and the Devil
Watchin' over me
Can go to Hell and Heaven
'Cause I was born free
I light a match
Light it to the ground
And this old barn
Er, is goin' down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Gone down with me
