John Mellencamp - Rain On The Scarecrow слова песни




Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barnFour hundred empty acres that used to be my farmI grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this landWhen I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my handRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowThis land fed a nation This land made me proudAnd Son I`m just sorry there`s no legacy for you nowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowThe crops we grew last summer weren`t enough to pay the loansCouldn`t buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosedCalled my old friend Schepman up to auction off the landHe said John it`s just my job and I hope you understandHey calling it your job ol` hoss sure don`t make it rightBut if you want me to I`ll say a prayer for your soul tonightAnd grandma`s on the front porch swing with a Bible in her handSometimes 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 plowBlood on the scarecrow Blood on the plowWell there`s ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yardNinety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farmsI think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my nameAnd some nights I feel like dyin` Like that scarecrow in the rainRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowThis land fed a nation This land made me proudAnd Son I`m just sorry they`re just memories for you nowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowThis land fed a nation This land made me proudAnd Son I`m just sorry they`re just memories for you nowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plowRain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
