My father was a haystack man,
Always said son go a find what you can.
Said the guns get jammed up in the sand,
Don't let them try to fool you.
I said but daddy we ain't fightin' 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,
Gotta let others have their glory day.
But you know the whole town's gettin' together in Leeland's barn.
Everyone's gettin' there nice shoes on.
Girls are all cuttin' up their confirmation dresses.
Streets will be empty tomorrow as the whole town confesses.
It's a barn storming yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow,
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah,
Won't hold a head of sorrow.
'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak,
A 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 thinkin' 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 somethin' before you go over seas.
All I could do was stammer,
Yes yes please and look in the other direction
'Cause it's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow,
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah,
Won't hold a head of sorrow.
'Cause it's a lovely heartbreak,
A 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.
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah
Gonna leave my bed tomorrow,
It's gonna be a barn stormin' yeah,
Gonna hold a head of sorrow,
It's a lovely heartbreak,
A lovely heartbreak

this song to me seems to be the story of a guy probally in his late teens getting ready to go and fight in Iraq and alot of people are trying to tell him that he shouldnt go, but he isnt listening to them cause he wants his own as chad puts it "own glory day" and he is so set on going to fight in this war, until one night he gets super stoned and dances gets 'Laid" just has a great time, then he relizes that he has to go fight in this war and he starts to regret his decision
