Rain On the Scarecrow (Live) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Scarecrow on a wooden cross[00:00:50]

Blackbird in the barn[00:00:52]

Four hundred empty acres[00:00:54]

That used to be my farm[00:00:56]

Grew up like my daddy did[00:00:58]

My grandpa cleared this land[00:01:00]

When I was five[00:01:02]

I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand[00:01:03]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:01:06]

Blood on the plow[00:01:08]

This land fed a nation[00:01:10]

This land made me so proud[00:01:12]

And son I'm just sorry[00:01:14]

There's no legacy for you now[00:01:15]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:01:18]

Blood on the plow[00:01:20]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:01:22]

Blood on the plow[00:01:24]

The crops we grew last summer[00:01:34]

Weren't enough to pay the loans[00:01:36]

Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring[00:01:38]

And the farmers' bank foreclosed[00:01:40]

Called my old friend schepman[00:01:42]

Up to auction off the land[00:01:43]

He said[00:01:45]

John it's just my job[00:01:46]

And I hope you understand[00:01:47]

Hey calling it your job ole hoss[00:01:50]

Sure don't make it right[00:01:52]

But if you want me to[00:01:54]

I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight[00:01:55]

And grandma's on the front porch swing[00:01:58]

With a bible in her hand[00:02:00]

Sometimes I hear her singing[00:02:02]

Take me to the promised land[00:02:03]

When you take away a man's dignity[00:02:06]

He can't work his fields and cows[00:02:08]

There'll be[00:02:09]

Blood on the scarecrow[00:02:10]

Blood on the plow[00:02:12]

Blood on the scarecrow[00:02:14]

Blood on the plow[00:02:16]

There's 97 crosses[00:03:26]

Planted in the courthouse yard[00:03:28]

Ninety seven families who[00:03:30]

Lost ninety seven farms[00:03:32]

I think about my grandpa[00:03:34]

My neighbors and my name[00:03:36]

And some nights[00:03:38]

I feel like dying[00:03:38]

Like that scarecrow in the rain[00:03:40]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:42]

Blood on the plow[00:03:44]

This land fed a nation[00:03:46]

This land made me so proud[00:03:48]

And son I'm just sorry[00:03:50]

They're just memories for you now[00:03:51]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:54]

Blood on the plow[00:03:56]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:03:58]

Blood on the plow[00:04:00]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:04:02]

Blood on the plow[00:04:04]

This land fed a nation[00:04:06]

This land made me so proud[00:04:08]

Son I'm just sorry[00:04:10]

They're just memories for you now[00:04:11]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:04:14]

Blood on the plow[00:04:16]

Rain on the scarecrow[00:04:18]

Blood on the plow[00:04:20]
