[Verse 1] Two flat tires on the Model T Two birds fightin for a bug Faded squares like snowy TV screens Where your photographs were hung Keep Old Glory folded on a shelf In a cabinet full of guns Sell that engine block to someone else Maybe they can make it run Howd that calf get out beyond the fence? Howd that hole get in your jeans? Movie show was once but twenty cents That mud there was once a stream [Chorus] The moon is high, your nose is burned Your dog is gone Your mouth is dry, the milk is turned But Barbaras home [Verse 2] Hand in hand you watch the sun go down Colored lullaby of God Barbara wears her mothers old nightgown Sleeping with a nightlight on White sheet blowin on a short clothesline New tree bendin to the breeze This clocks beautiful but cant keep time Whats that scar on both your knees? [Chorus] The moon is high, your nose is burned Your dog is gone Your mouth is dry, the milk is turned But Barbaras home
