Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I’m up before the sun
Boots in the red clay
Feed sack on my shoulder
Coffee gone cold away
The hens all know my step
The mule still knows my name
I whistle down the lane
And the day swings in the same
[Pre-Chorus]
Mud on my cuffs
Sweet corn in the rows
Your hand in mine
Where the river bend goes
We count our blessings
One, two, three
Then the whole wide field
Starts shuffling with me
[Chorus]
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(hey now)
Work all day, let the good things ring
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(turn it loose)
Heart goes light when the rooster sings
[Verse 2]
We patch the fence at noon
Under a white-hot sky
Tomatoes in the basket
And a hawk goes sliding by
Your laugh hits the porch rail
Like a bright brass line
I throw you a peach
You say, “That one’s mine”
[Pre-Chorus]
Mud on my cuffs
Sweet corn in the rows
Your hand in mine
Where the river bend goes
We count our blessings
One, two, three
Then the whole wide field
Starts shuffling with me
[Chorus]
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(hey now)
Work all day, let the good things ring
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(turn it loose)
Heart goes light when the rooster sings
[Bridge]
When the rain taps down
On the tin roof overhead
We dance in the doorway
Count the seeds we’ve shed
If the world gets heavy
We let it pass right through
’Cause a hard day’s honest
When I’m holding you
[Chorus]
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(hey now)
Work all day, let the good things ring
Barnyard swing, barnyard swing
(turn it loose)
Heart goes light when the rooster sings
[Outro]
Barnyard swing
Let it roll
Barnyard swing
In my soul

Style
Country jazz with brushed drums, upright bass walking under pedal steel twang, and slack-key guitar licks; verse rides a loping two-step with muted trumpet fills, pre-chorus tightens into snappy snaps and bass walks harder, chorus opens with stacked harmonies and call-and-response shouts. Vocal is warm and close-mic in verses, richer doubles on hooks, with short ad-lib throws and a few scatted tails. Add banjo picks, brush swells, vinyl crackle, and a little horn tag between lines; mix is earthy, bright, and roomy, country, jazz
