CHORUS:
A
Let's burn down the barn, boys
Let's have a little fun
         D
When you need a name to take the blame
        A
You can tell 'em I'm the one
Let's burn down the barn, boys
G       D      A
Burn it to the ground
         D
When the police come to get me
  G        D        A
I won't be hangin' 'round


D                                 A
Heading down to Thibedeaux with the girl from Vasherey
D                                     G       D         A
All my friends at the Rebel Club just waiting there for me
  D                             A
I love that little redhead, she gave my heart a tug
D                               G     D          A
Had me all electrified 'til her daddy pulled the plug

[repeat CHORUS]

Always been a little lazy, hated scrapping cane
Once you've worked her grind in, you'll never be the same
Following them old cane trucks, tearin' up River Road
Don't you try to pass 'em, boy, they carryin' a heavy load

[jam - keys, then slide guitar, all on the A chord]

Cozy got a cooler, cool as it can be
Rebel Yell on the bottom shelf just waitin' there for me
Midnight at the Honey Hush, cuttin' the linoleum rug
Joe Tex on the jukebox 'til Victoria pulls the plug

[repeat CHORUS]
