That Old Barn

There was an old man who lived in that barn
Out behind the white fence on that old farm
And nobody knew his name
Yet he lived on
Behind the white fence
In that old barn
They say he lost his true love back in '63
Nothing left to live for no more you and me
So he traveled the hillsides
Roamed from town to town
'Till he saw that white fence
That brought his memories 'round
Thoughts of a life so simple rushed through his head
How he held her closely planning life ahead
That big old oak tree where they said their vows
A distant memory in the here and now
Heard he died in the summer, 1993
They said he died alone I don't believe
'Cause she never did leave his side
A forever burning flame
That's why his last breath called out her name
There was an old man who lived in that barn
Out behind the white fence on that old farm
And nobody knew his name
Yet he lives on
Behind the white fence
In that old barn
