Hayloft Lyrics
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'.
Yeah, it just started in the hayloft.
With his long johns on, Pop went a-creepin'
Out to the barn, out to the hay.
Young lovers and they are not sleeping.
Young lovers in the hayloft.
With his gun turned on, Pop went a-creepin'
Out to the barn up to the hay.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.

You better run.

My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
It started with the hayloft a-creakin'.
Yeah, just started in the hay.
With his long johns on, Pop went a-creepin'
Out to the barn, out to the hayloft.
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots.
Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots.
With his long tall gun, Pop went a-creepin'.
To blow their hayloft bedheads straight off.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
My daddy's got a gun.
You better run.
My daddy's got a gun.

Pardon me, English is not my first language.I kind of feel stupid reading all the other meanings, but here’s mine that I have had since I first heard it: A girl grows up in an abusive home and has to grow up too quickly. She can’t have her own life, her dad won’t like that and her siblings might get hurt . Ik “pop” is a nickname for dad, but I still sometimes think “pop” is her inner child, which had to disappear completely
Cover of this song:

I think this song is referencing an undercover psychopath's daughter warning her classmates or something not to come uninvited because of what she saw one night. "Young lovers and they are not sleeping" i wOnDEr wHAt thEY aRe doINg! I think it's pretty obvious that this verse is referring to teenagers or young adults "hitting it off" in what they think is an abandoned loft they can hide in to do their "business". Father probably hears rustling or something, and going to see who is trespassing, but the child heard it first and was watching him or whatever, and finds out that he is a psychopath that is also known as a serial killer. Also just speculation but I think the gun is a shot gun. "Long, tall gun"? Yup.
