Out Behind the Barn Lyrics

My pappy used to tan my hide

Out behind the barn
He taught me to be dignified

Out behind the barn

But when he took that strap to me,

and turned me down across his knee

He sure did hurt my dignity

Out behind the barn

I got my education

Out behind the barn

And i'm not foolin' no siree

Passed each examination

Out behind the barn

But it almost made a wreck out of me

I smoked my first cigarette

Out behind the barn
And that's one day I won't forget

Out behind the barn

I got so sick, you should've seen

How that tobacco turned me green

I almost died from nicotine

Out behind the barn

I met a pretty girl one day

Out behind the barn

She wanted me to stay and play
Out behind the barn

She taught me how to kiss and pet

And that's a game I won't forget

Cause we still play the same game yet

Out behind the barn

I wish I could go again

Out behind the barn

And do some things I did then

Out behind the barn

Now you think it ain't no fun

To be a poor old farmers son

You just don't know what all I've done

Out behind the barn
