Rain On The Scarecrow (1997/Live In Bellmont Mall Studios) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn[00:00:18]

Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm[00:00:22]

I grew up like my daddy did my[00:00:26]

Grandpa cleared this land[00:00:28]

When I was five I walked the fence[00:00:30]

While grandpa held my hand[00:00:32]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:00:35]

This land fed a nation This land made me proud[00:00:39]

And Son I'm just sorry there's[00:00:43]

No legacy for you now[00:00:45]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:00:47]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:00:52]

The crops we grew last summer[00:01:04]

Weren't enough to pay the loans[00:01:06]

Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring[00:01:08]

And the Farmers Bank foreclosed[00:01:11]

Called my old friend Schepman up[00:01:12]

To auction off the land[00:01:14]

He said John it's just my job and I[00:01:16]

Hope you understand[00:01:19]

Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure[00:01:21]

Don't make it right[00:01:23]

But if you want me to I'll say a prayer[00:01:25]

For your soul tonight[00:01:27]

And grandma's on the front porch[00:01:29]

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

Sometimes I hear her singing[00:01:34]

"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[00:01:40]

There'll be blood on the[00:01:43]

Scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:01:44]

Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:01:47]

Well there's ninety-seven crosses[00:02:16]

Planted in the courthouse yard[00:02:18]

Ninety-seven families who lost[00:02:20]

Ninety-seven farms[00:02:23]

I think about my grandpa and[00:02:25]

My neighbors and my name[00:02:27]

And some nights I feel like dyin'[00:02:29]

Like that scarecrow in the rain[00:02:31]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:02:33]

This land fed a nation This land[00:02:38]

Made me proud[00:02:40]

And Son I'm just sorry they're[00:02:42]

Just memories for you now[00:02:44]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:02:46]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:02:51]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:02:55]

Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow[00:02:59]
