Barn Door Bounce by Sin and Shine
Barn Door Bounce
[Verse 1]
Barn door swingin’ on a rusty hinge
Moonlight slippin’ through the cracks again
Boot heels hittin’ boards too proud
Floor’s talkin’ back, squeakin’ loud
[Verse 2]
Somebody hollers, “Watch that plank!”
Old Earl says, “That one’s about to thank—
You for fallin’ clean through the ground!”
We laugh it off and dance around
[Chorus]
It’s a barn door bounce, stomp it down
Squeaky floor singin’ all through town
Every step makes a funny sound
But we don’t care, we’re dancin’ anyhow
If the walls shake loose and the rafters prance
Blame it on the rhythm and the barn door bounce
[Verse 3]
Caller’s yellin’ “Swing your date!”
I spin too hard, you nearly face-
Plant in the hay, but you land just fine
Laughin’ so hard you’re cryin’ wine
[Verse 4]
That old door slams on the downbeat
Like it’s part of the band’s heartbeat
Fiddle saws, banjo hums
Barn sounds better than a kick drum
[Chorus]
It’s a barn door bounce, shake and slide
Dust in our hair, joy in our stride
Boards complain, but they don’t mind
They’ve heard this song a thousand times
If the nails hold tight and the roof don’t pounce
We’ll dance all night to the barn door bounce
[Bridge]
If that floor gives way, we’ll call it fate
Say, “That’s just part of a country date”
A little creak never hurt a soul
Adds a beat to the rock and roll
[Chorus]
It’s a barn door bounce, loud and proud
Squeak and stomp in a work-boot crowd
Left foot squeals, right foot shouts
Music’s comin’ from the inside out
When the night winds down and the echoes announce
We’ll remember the sound of the barn door bounce
[Outro]
Barn gets quiet, stars shine bright
Floor still hummin’ from the night
That old door squeaks one last time
Like it’s askin’ us not to say goodbye
