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 the fence while grandpa held my hand | |
Chorus: | |
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 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 cows | |
There'll be blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow | |
Blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow | |
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard | |
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms | |
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name | |
And some nights i feel like dyin' like that scarecrow in the rain | |
Chorus: | |
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow | |
This land fed a nation 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 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 they're just memories for you now | |
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow | |
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow |
