Good evening ladies and gents, I'm Ridley Bent,
And I just had a crazy couple days and this is how they went
We were puttin' on a barn dance over in Cloverdale,
The band I hired was hotter than a Mexican jail
We went on at midnight; we cooked the place 'till dawn,
When a guitar lick caught on fire in the middle of our last song

Burnin' barns down all over town

Well luckily for us we got the gear into the bus without a scratch
We're all good people so no doubt a few angels have got our backs
We're burning barns down all over town, can't help it
Burnin' barns down all over town

Yeah a couple days off before we opened up for George Strait,
And one of our very good friends took us out for $50 steaks
Yeah, he showed us his warehouse full of vintage gear,
He said "What's mine is yours long as they don't go far from here"
We all sat around and played everything he had,
When we broke into "Ring of Fire" lightening struck us dead

Burnin' barns down all over town

Luckily for us the law's convinced we didn't break the rules
And even luckier is the fact that our agent hasn't booked us any schools
We've been burning down all over town
It was electrical!

Burnin' barns down all over town
Yeah we've been burnin' barns down all over town
