Barber Creek Road

The old dog was a barking when he got home
By the sound he new there was something wrong
He went in the house and he got a gun
By the light of moon he saw a man on the run
So he let out a yell and he fired off a round
Then they came from the shadows and knocked him down
With a six-foot rope they took his life
And made it look like suicide
Out there on Barber Creek Road

Well the sheriff came out and he cut him down
Closed the case and laid him in the ground
No evidence of a homicide
But the whole town knew somebody lied
Cause rumor has that they want the oil
From a river of gold underneath his soil
Nobody’s doing time for that awful crime
Out there on Barber Creek Road

They say that crime don’t pay
But tell that to the man down in his grave

Well they boarded up the place and the grass grew tall
Convinced that they’d fooled us all
That white collar outlaw band
Has still got his blood on their hands
Now somebody out there knows the truth
And justice is way over due
Somebody ought to pay
For what they did that day
Out there on Barber Creek Road
I just can’t let it lie he was a friend of mine
Out there on Barber Creek Road
Barber Creek Road
