Barn Door Yodel

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I woke the cows at dawn With a grin and a buckled boot Mama set the biscuit pan Papa said, “Boy, make it cute” I swung that screen door wide Past the bucket and the hay Took one breath from the cold air Then I let it fly away [Pre-Chorus] Up the hill, down the lane Hear that sound come back again Round and wild, sharp and high Riding on the morning wind [Chorus] Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Hear me now, hear me now Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Shake the rafters down Yodel-ay, yodel-ay I’m alive, I’m alive Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Give me room, I’ll fly [Verse 2] Dust on my boots, fresh rain on the fence Blue speckled eggs in a red tin pail Old porch swing creaks like it knows my name I sing so loud it can’t be held The hound runs circles by the feed The hens all scatter, half amused I cut a note around the barn And watch the whole yard change its mood [Pre-Chorus] Up the hill, down the lane Hear that sound come back again Round and wild, sharp and high Riding on the morning wind [Chorus] Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Hear me now, hear me now Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Shake the rafters down Yodel-ay, yodel-ay I’m alive, I’m alive Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Give me room, I’ll fly [Bridge] [Breakdown] Just me and the fence post now Just me and the open sky One more leap from the valley floor Then I rise, then I rise [Final Chorus] Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Hear me now, hear me now Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Shake the rafters down Yodel-ay, yodel-ay I’m alive, I’m alive Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Give me room, I’ll fly Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Hear me now, hear me now Yodel-ay, yodel-ay Shake the rafters down
