Story behind the song
song written for my grandparents
Lyrics
Built of stone and wood
so many years ago
a beakon to my heart
she welcomes me home
held the hay through the winter
kept the cattle dry
a playground in my youth
memories that will never die
standing tall and proud
on this family farm
this old barn has kept us
safe and warm
she's weathered all the storms
she stood so strong
this old barn
this old barn
the years passed by
like a summer breeze
some left for riches
some fell to their knees
to one and all
she welcomes us home
standing at the end of the lane
back to the family fold
standing tall and proud
on this family farm
this old barn has kept us
safe and warm
she's weatherd all the storms
she stood so strong
this old barn
this old barn
empty fields and broken tractors
are now all that she can see
where once the crops grew wild
there are only memories
