Standing in the dead grass
Off of my backyard
I'm looking at them oak trees
And my old barn
All I've 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 going down
In a mighty blast
I light a match
Let it to the ground
And this old barn
Is going down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Go down with me
My boots and my saddle
Well I don't need them no more
All left behind
Them old barn doors
And the lord and the devil
Watching over me
Can go to hell and heaven
Cause I was born free
I light a match
Let it to the ground
And this old barn
Is going down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Go down with me
And the lord and the devil
Watching over me
Can go to hell and heaven
Cause I was born free
I light a match
Let it to the ground
And this old barn
Is going down
I light a match
I set the fire free
And this old barn
Go down with me
