Barn Burning Songtext
von Dave Alvin

There′s a barn burning baby
There's a barn burning baby
And I can′t say who's to blame
There's a barn burning baby
There′s a barn burning baby
And I can′t say who's to blame

No one knows who did it baby
And you best not ask my name

You better close your windows
You better close your windows
Better stay right in your bed
You better close your windows
You better close your windows
Lock your door and stay in bed
′Cause there's a barn burning baby
And they say somebody′s dead


There's an evil in this land
Good man′s in prison
Good man's in prison
And the bad man runs free
Good man's in prison
Good man′s in prison
And the bad man runs free

There′s a barn burning baby
Best not say you spoke to me
'Cause there′s an evil in this land

Yeah the rich get richer
Yeah the rich get richer
And the poor they just stay poor
Yeah the rich get richer
Yeah the rich get richer
And the poor they just stay poor

Oh there's a barn burning baby
Guess you won′t see me no more

Oh there's an evil in this land
Yes there′s an evil in this land
There's a barn burning baby
There's a barn burning baby
No I can′t say who′s to blame
