Lyrics Rain on the Scarecrow

Scarecrow on a wooden cross

Blackbird in the barn

Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm

Grew up like my daddy did

My grandpa cleared this land

When I was five

I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

This land fed a nation

This land made me proud

And son I'm just sorry

There's no legacy for you now

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans

Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers' bank foreclosed

Called my old friend

Schepman up to auction off the land

He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand

Hey callin' it your job ol' Hoss sure dont make it right

But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight

And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand

Sometimes I hear her singin' take me to the promised land

When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows

There's blood on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Blood on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Hey

Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard

Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms

I think about my grandpa

My neighbors and my name and some nights I feel like dyin' like that scarecrow in the rain

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

This land fed a nation

This land made me proud

And son I'm just sorry

There's just memories for you now

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

This land fed a nation

This land made me so proud

And son I'm just sorry

There's memories for you now

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow

Blood on the plow

Ooh yeah
