Fire In The Barn

 

Fire In The Barn

Written by Scott Wainwright

Come quick, there's a blaze in the barn

The opening line, to Aunt Nelly's yarn

Step back from the cookie jar

I've come a long way

But I will still go that far

Now who's that in the kitchen?

Are they on the run?

Now who knows you are missing?

If I call them will they come?

Don't ask questions, if you can't take the truth

You know I saw you run across the barn roof

Empty your pockets

While I bolt the catches

Whose are those rockets?

Whose are those matches?
