Rain On The Scarecrow

Scarecrow on a wooden cross, blackbird in the barn

Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm

I grew up like my daddy did, my grandpa cleared this land

When I was five, I walked a fence while grandpa held my handRain 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 plowThe 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, calling it your job, ol' hoss, sure don't 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 singing, "Take me to the promised land"

When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cowsThere'll be blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plow

Blood on the scarecrow, blood on the plowWell theres ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard

And 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 rainRain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow

This land fed a nation, yeah, this land made me proud

And son, I'm just sorry, they're just memories for you now

Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plowRain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow

Yeah, this land fed a nation, this land made me so proud

Son, I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now

Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow

Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow
