The Bank Took The Barn

Paroles de « The Bank Took The Barn »

Verse 1

Ain't got no cash, watch the bank take my barn,
House left empty, it's a lonely refrain,
Bills stack high like a mountain, they're tearing down my yard,
Got no time left, just a hammer and a pain.

Verse 2

They took the barn, left the house in decay,
Lived in rags, now my dreams just sway,
Rack of tools in hand, ain't got no other way,
Walking down the road, where the cows used to play.

Chorus

Bank took the barn, left the house to roam,
Struck a chord with the crows, but I'm still here at home,
Bank took the barn, left the house to roam,
I'll keep on walking, 'cross this road of my own.

Bridge

Tools in the hand, ain't nothing left but sand,
Wading through my life, in a drought's strong land,
One-way road, no turning back, just a plow's command,
Still got my boots, and the road ain't got no end.

Outro

Bank took the barn, left the house to roam,
In the silence, my heart finds a tune to moan,
Bank took the barn, left the house to roam,
Walking on this road, in the blues' deep tone.
