lirik lagu john mellencamp - rain on the scarecrow (live)
[verse 1]
scarecrow on a wooden cross
blackbird in the barn
four hundred empty acres
used to be my farm
grew up like my daddy did
my grandpa cleared this land
when i was five, i walked the fence
grandpa held my hand
[pre~chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
this land fed a nation
this land made me so proud
son, i’m just sorry
they’re just memories for you now
[chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow (yeah)
[verse 2]
the crops we grew last summer
weren’t еnough to pay the loan
couldn’t buy the seed to plant this spring
and the farmеr bank foreclosed
called my old friend schepman up
to auction off the land
said, “john, it’s just my job
hope you understand”
calling it your job, old hoss
sure don’t make it right
if you want me to i’ll say a prayer
for your soul tonight
[pre~chorus]
grandma’s on the front porch swing
with a bible in her hand
some nights i hear her singing
take me to the promised land
take away a man’s dignity
he can’t work his fields and cows
[chorus]
there’ll be blood on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
blood on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
[post~chorus]
ooh yeah
ooh yeah
huh, huh
huh, huh, huh
[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
there’s ninety~seven crosses
planted in the courthouse yard
for ninety~seven families
who lost ninety~seven farms
think about my grandpa
my neighbors and my name
some nights i feel like dying
scarecrow in the rain
[pre~chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
this land fed a nation
this land made me so proud
son, i am just sorry
they’re just memories for you now
[chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
[pre~chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
this land fed a nation
this land made me so proud
son, i’m just sorry
they’re just memories for you now
[chorus]
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow
rain on the scarecrow
blood on the plow (hey)
[outro]
oh yeah
ooh yeah
