Rain On The Scarecrow - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Scarecrow on a wooden cross[00:00:31]

Blackbird in the barn[00:00:33]

Four hundred empty acres[00:00:35]

That used to be my farm[00:00:37]

I grew up like my daddy[00:00:39]

Did my grandpa cleared this land[00:00:40]

When I was five I walked the fence[00:00:43]

While grandpa held my hand[00:00:45]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:00:47]

Blood on the plow[00:00:49]

This land fed a nation[00:00:51]

This land made me proud[00:00:52]

And Son I'm just sorry[00:00:55]

There's no legacy for you now[00:00:56]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:00:59]

Blood on the plow[00:01:01]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:01:03]

Blood on the plow[00:01:05]

The crops we grew last summer[00:01:06]

Weren't enough to pay the loans[00:01:08]

Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring[00:01:10]

And the Farmers Bank foreclosed[00:01:12]

Called my old friend Schepman[00:01:14]

Up to auction off the land[00:01:16]

He said John it's just my job[00:01:18]

And I hope you understand[00:01:20]

Hey calling it your job[00:01:22]

Ol' hoss sure don't make it right[00:01:23]

But if you want me to[00:01:26]

I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight[00:01:27]

And grandma's on the front porch[00:01:30]

Swing with a Bible in her hand[00:01:31]

Sometimes I hear her singing[00:01:33]

"Take me to the Promised Land"[00:01:35]

When you take away a man's dignity[00:01:38]

He can't work his fields and cows[00:01:39]

There'll be blood on the scarecrow[00:01:41]

Blood on the plow[00:01:44]

Blood on the scarecrow[00:01:46]

Blood on the plow[00:01:48]

Well there's ninety-seven crosses[00:02:24]

Planted in the courthouse yard[00:02:26]

Ninety-seven families[00:02:28]

Who lost ninety-seven farms[00:02:30]

I think about my grandpa[00:02:32]

And my neighbors and my name[00:02:34]

And some nights I feel like dyin'[00:02:36]

Like that scarecrow in the rain[00:02:38]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:02:41]

Blood on the plow[00:02:43]

This land fed a nation[00:02:44]

This land made me proud[00:02:46]

And Son I'm just sorry[00:02:48]

They're just memories for you now[00:02:50]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:02:52]

Blood on the plow[00:02:54]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:02:56]

Blood on the plow[00:02:58]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:00]

Blood on the plow[00:03:02]

This land fed a nation[00:03:04]

This land made me so proud[00:03:06]

And Son I'm just sorry[00:03:08]

They're just memories for you now[00:03:09]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:12]

Blood on the plow[00:03:14]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:16]

Blood on the plow[00:03:18]
