Dale wrote what read like a great bluegrass lyric and I set out to write bluegrass music to it and the guys who do our demos happen to be masters at the art of Bluegrass. How cool is that...ha...
The Apple Barn
(c) Sept 2007, Rebecca Dale Peaden (BMI)/Moker Jarrett (ASCAP)
It was bout to be spring break - and I'd had all I could take - of my hillbilly roommate
When he asked if I wanted to do something a little different
I grabbed some clothes - we hit the road - I slept while he drove
Woke up to a honking horn - I could've sworn - we were sitting on a farm
He said it's picking time - and you'll do fine - folks need to make wine
And pawpaw and pops can use all the help they can get
And "hey slick" - that chick's my sister - she'll cut you to the quick
I thought hmmm maybe all's not lost - I'll cross that bridge - at any cost
Chorus:
Harvest time in the Apple Barn
It was instant chemistry for me
Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be stuck
Making wine and memories
Well I never worked so hard - but it was in the cards - she'd let down her guard
We spent days boxing fruit and cool nights picking at each other
And I couldn't help but stare - at her auburn hair - she was a breath of fresh air
And when the stars were aligned - we both saw the signs - guess she read my mind
Chorus:
Harvest time in the Apple Barn
It was instant chemistry for me
Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be stuck
Making wine and memories
Bridge:
Ten years and two kids later
I watchem' from the tractor
As she drives'em 'round in the gator
I smile when I hear their laughter
Chorus:
Harvest time in the Apple Barn
It was instant chemistry for me
Can't think of anywhere I'd rather be stuck
Making wine and memories
