Barnstorming Lyrics - Year Of The Crow - State Radio

My father was a haystack man 

Always said, Son go a find what you can 

He said, The guns get jammed up in the sand 

Don't let them try to fool you 

I said, But daddy we ain't fighting the Cong no more 

He said, You're going over there to lose the very same war 

I said, Nothing you can do is gonna make me stay 

You gotta let others have their glory day 

'Cause you know the whole town's getting together in Leeland's barn 

Everyone's getting there nice shoes on 

Girls are all cutting up their confirmation dresses 

Streets will be empty tomorrow as the whole town confesses 

It's a barnstorming, yeah 

Gonna leave my bed tomorrow 

It's gonna be a barnstorming, yeah 

Won't hold a head of sorrow 

'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak, lovely heartbreak 

Now Ginny, she was up to no good 

As up to no good as she could sometimes be 

I used to lie awake at night 

Just thinking about her being up to no good with me 

She said, Just like the flower to the bees 

I'm gonna give you a little something before you go over seas 

'Cause all I could do was stammer 

Yes, yes please and look in the other direction 

'Cause it's gonna be a barnstorming, yeah 

Gonna leave my bed tomorrow 

It's gonna be a barnstorming, yeah 

Won't hold a head of sorrow 

'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak, oh, oh, oh lovely heartbreak 

'Cause I never been laid and so it goes 

Never danced before so stoned 

It was the first time I didn't want to go 

Now I wish I could take it all back again 

She spit in my hand 

Said, Boy I'm gonna make you a man 

It was all I could do to stand 

And ask the levy to hold and hold and hold and hold 

'Cause it's gonna be a barnstorming, yeah 

Gonna leave my bed tomorrow 

It's gonna be a barnstorming, yeah 

Gonna hold a head of sorrow 

'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak, oh, oh, oh lovely heartbreak
