Lockin’ The Barn Door, After the Horses Are Gone DOWNLOAD
Verse 1
Well, I bought her them boots she’s been eyein’ for years,
But she’s already ridin’ outta here.
I tried to fix things with a John Deere,
But she’s already left with someone else’s gear.
I should’ve seen it comin’, it ain’t no surprise,
Now I’m sittin’ here, just wonderin’ why.
Chorus
It’s like lockin’ the barn door after the horses have run off,
Tryin’ to win her back, but she’s already scoffed.
You can’t fix a thing when it’s already done,
She’s gallopin’ away, and I’m here on the run.
Yeah, lockin’ the barn door after the horses are gone,
I realized too late, now I’m singin’ this song.
Verse 2
I threw her a BBQ, thought I’d make it right,
But she went vegan last Friday night.
Picked some wildflowers to ease the pain,
But she’s already flown the coop, leavin’ me in the rain.
I brought her sweet tea, but it’s too late,
She’s already called the lawyer and changed her fate.
Chorus
It’s like lockin’ the barn door after the horses have run off,
Tryin’ to win her back, but she’s already scoffed.
You can’t fix a thing when it’s already done,
She’s gallopin’ away, and I’m here on the run.
Yeah, lockin’ the barn door after the horses are gone,
I realized too late, now I’m singin’ this song.
Bridge
I missed three anniversaries, thought dinner could save the day,
But she’s dancin’ with another at the ol’ honky-tonk café.
I offered her a new horse when she’s ridin’ away,
And now I’m here with nothin’, watchin’ the hay.
Chorus
It’s like lockin’ the barn door after the horses have run off,
Tryin’ to win her back, but she’s already scoffed.
You can’t fix a thing when it’s already done,
She’s gallopin’ away, and I’m here on the run.
Yeah, lockin’ the barn door after the horses are gone,
I realized too late, now I’m singin’ this song.
Outro
So here’s a lesson, boys, don’t wait too long,
Or you’ll be sittin’ here wonderin’ what went wrong.
Don’t wait to fix the fence when she’s already gone,
Or you’ll be lockin’ the barn door after the horses have run on.
