Burnin' The Woodshed Down

(Album: Hammer Down - 2012)

Summer sun is swinging low
Out here in the cotton row
Surrounded by my sorrow
Summer sun is swinging low
Ain't no mother for my brother and me
Lost her back in 63
Drowned herself in a sea of Jim Beam
Ain't no mother for a brother and me

So I'm burning the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
Going to kick the ashes all around
I'm burning the woodshed down

Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue
Broke his hickory stick in two
God only knows what I'm bound to do
Daddy beat me black and he beat me blue

So I'm burning the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
I'm going to kick the ashes all around
I'm burning the woodshed down

I'm going to show that man just want I mean
Pour out this can of kerosene
I'm going to toss a match into the breeze
I'm going to show that man just want I mean

Hey, I'm burning the woodshed down
Going to burn it to the ground
I'm going to kick the ashes all around
I'm burning the woodshed down
I'm going to kick the ashes all around
I'm burning the woodshed down
