Out Behind the Barn
Many are the lessons I learned long ago
Most of them the hard way-those the best I know
Well, I remember Judy from just down the road
I was not really her doctor by my daddy I was told
This he made clear to me down on the old farm
Daddy made me cry that day out behind the barn
One day I sneaked around and stole my uncles smokes
To say that I got sick that day is almost just a joke
Another day I went shopping in a store without money
The policeman told my daddy, who didn't think that it was funny
This he made clear to me down on the old farm
Daddy made me cry that day out behind the barn
He taught me about Jesus and why He had to die
How He paid the sin price for sinners, even you and I
Well, many years have passed since daddy went to his eternal home
Some day soon I'll join him there-never more to roam
Because daddy made things clear to me down on the old farm
My daddy still makes me cry out behind the barn.
