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

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

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

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

[00:00:28] Grandpa cleared this land

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:19] Hope you understand

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

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

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

[00:01:27] For your soul tonight

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

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

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

[00:01:35] "Take me to the Promised Land"

[00:01:38] When you take away a man's dignity

[00:01:40] He can't work his fields and cows

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:23] Ninety-seven farms

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:40] Made me proud

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

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

[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] Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow
