Barrel House Lyrics

Lead is something like this in the verse then arpeggio the bar chords for chorus.
VRS I
Shifting the chair on the porch for a better position to enjoy the warmth of the sun, to keep warm
Working the needle and twine. Lost in the furthest recess of the mind.
It is calm. There is peace. A cat on his lap and a dog at her feet.
HORUS
But oh, the heart of a man. The secrets they bury within.
Oh the causes that force his poor hand
Lead to be mislead thus the deceiving of him.
VRS II
It's an item uneasily described. Misunderstandings our thoughts by and by.
I'm barely here if even at all.
Fear of the misunderstood invites the violence right in chasing off all the good.
We have brought it all on ourselves. Led astray by the words of somebody else!
HORUS II
But oh, the life of a man. His head above the water and pushed under again
Oh I've seen it one too many times
Its a test of the spirit verses the health of a mind.
RI
Oh.......bring relief to him now and the people he loves.
Oh.......I know the feel of the feeling but not what's it's called
Oh....... oh......
HORUS III
Oh the will of a man and all his well meaning intent.
Oh the thought of it all. As far as we've come there's still further to go...
