Hayloft

Lyrics
My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

You better run

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

It started with the hayloft a-creakin'

Well, it just started in the hay (loft)

With his long-johns on, pop went a-creeping

Out to the barn, up to the hay

Young lovers and they are not sleeping

Young lovers in the hay (loft)

With his gun turned on, pop went a-creeping

Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

You better run

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

You better run

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

It started with the hayloft a-creakin'

Well, it just started in the hay

With his long-johns on, Pop went a-creeping

Out to the barn, up to the hay (loft)

Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots

Young lovers with their legs tied up in knots

With his long, tall gun, Pop went a-creeping

To blow their hay-loft dead heads straight off

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

You better run

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

You better run

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

My daddy's got a gun

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga

Reception/Legacy
While being recently having a "sequel", Hayloft ||, Hayloft is hit with praise on social platforms, Especially tik tok. with the "my daddy's got a gun" line. One of the main reason that it blew up was as so,"Lead singer, Ryan Guldemond told CBC, that luck, good timing and “a little pixie dust” was the reason for their recent popularity. Through the pandemic, the band noticed growth in their fanbase and when they looked to YouTube, people were surprised that Hayloft was not a new song."

Being about a protective father supposedly trying to find his daughters boyfriend, and kill him, the song has a tense, yet dancible tone with The fast paced guitar and such.
