THE BIG RED BARN (c) 2004
THE BIG RED BARN
We had a white farmhouse
A cornfield in our yard
At the end of the fence was the neighbor's
Big RED BARN
Next to the stables where the horses bray
We used to go there to play in the hay.
That's where we met
That's where our love grew
That's where I came to thinking
Baby, I love you.
Back then there was no way of knowin
Just how we'd play those cards
But at that moment life was perfect in that Big Red
Barn.
Chorus:
The Big Red Barn
That's the place where we met
It's the one place where we became one, I can NEVER
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
RED BARN
Verse 2
She moved away, time moved on.
The Seasons slowly passed, my heart could not go on.
I kept on thinking she'd come back to town one day
But she was far from home.
I felt so empty like the duckling who thought he was a
swan.
Oh I always thought of her whenever I rode that horse
by that
Big RED BARN.
Chorus:
The Big Red Barn.
That's the place where we met
It's the place where we became one, I can never
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
RED BARN
Bridge:
How long must I wait
How much more can I take
Time moves so slowly when you're forced to wait
I shouldn't have done the things I did, to make her
leave
But I need her now lord can't you see?
Oh I need her now, lord can't you see?
Sitting here waiting in the front yard
Looking at those memories in that BIG RED BARN.
Verse 3
Driving through town one cold day in June
My heart felt so empty and cold it might as well have
been a winter afternoon.
I was sitting on my horse by that Big Red barn
When I heard the faint sound of a familiar horn.
I ran to the farmhouse looked out towards the yard.
There was my baby in that same old car.
With the top rolled down her hair blowin in the wind
I knew she had come to take me back home again.
We spent all night talking, I gave her my ring.
That I had been keeping since that last spring.
When she left me I had had it all planned out
And now it was time to show her what our love was all
about
It wasn't that hard.
We became united by that BIG RED BARN.
Yeah we became united by that BIG RED BARN.
CHORUS:
The Big Red Barn.
That's the place where we met
It's the place where we became one, I can never
forget.
As we talked we could look up and see the bright
shining stars
It was so perfect in that Big Red Barn
We'd lie there all night till the rooster called dawn
Yeah that's where we fell in love in that Big Red
Barn.
Yeah that's how we fell in love, thanks to that BIG
