Barn Burning - Dave Alvin

There’s a barn burning, baby

There’s a barn burning, baby

No, I can’t say who’s to blame

There’s a barn burning, baby

There’s a barn burning, baby

No, I can’t say who’s to blame

No one knows who did it, baby

And you’d best not ask my name

Better close your windows

Better close your windows

Better stay right in your bed

Better close your windows

Better close your windows

Lock your doors, 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 a bad man runs free

Good man’s in prison

Good man’s in prison

And a 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

The rich get richer

The rich get richer

And the poor, they just stay poor

The rich get richer

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
