《Rain On The Scarecrow》歌词

[00:00:00] Rain On The Scarecrow - John Mellencamp

[00:00:31] Scarecrow on a wooden cross

[00:00:33] Blackbird in the barn

[00:00:35] Four hundred empty acres

[00:00:37] That used to be my farm

[00:00:39] I grew up like my daddy

[00:00:40] Did my grandpa cleared this land

[00:00:43] When I was five I walked the fence

[00:00:45] While grandpa held my hand

[00:00:47] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:00:49] Blood on the plow

[00:00:51] This land fed a nation

[00:00:52] This land made me proud

[00:00:55] And Son I'm just sorry

[00:00:56] There's no legacy for you now

[00:00:59] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:01:01] Blood on the plow

[00:01:03] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:01:05] Blood on the plow

[00:01:06] The crops we grew last summer

[00:01:08] Weren't enough to pay the loans

[00:01:10] Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring

[00:01:12] And the Farmers Bank foreclosed

[00:01:14] Called my old friend Schepman

[00:01:16] Up to auction off the land

[00:01:18] He said John it's just my job

[00:01:20] And I hope you understand

[00:01:22] Hey calling it your job

[00:01:23] Ol' hoss sure don't make it right

[00:01:26] But if you want me to

[00:01:27] I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight

[00:01:30] And grandma's on the front porch

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

[00:01:33] 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

[00:01:39] He can't work his fields and cows

[00:01:41] There'll be blood on the scarecrow

[00:01:44] Blood on the plow

[00:01:46] Blood on the scarecrow

[00:01:48] Blood on the plow

[00:02:24] Well there's ninety-seven crosses

[00:02:26] Planted in the courthouse yard

[00:02:28] Ninety-seven families

[00:02:30] Who lost ninety-seven farms

[00:02:32] I think about my grandpa

[00:02:34] And my neighbors and my name

[00:02:36] And some nights I feel like dyin'

[00:02:38] Like that scarecrow in the rain

[00:02:41] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:02:43] Blood on the plow

[00:02:44] This land fed a nation

[00:02:46] This land made me proud

[00:02:48] And Son I'm just sorry

[00:02:50] They're just memories for you now

[00:02:52] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:02:54] Blood on the plow

[00:02:56] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:02:58] Blood on the plow

[00:03:00] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:03:02] Blood on the plow

[00:03:04] This land fed a nation

[00:03:06] This land made me so proud

[00:03:08] And Son I'm just sorry

[00:03:09] They're just memories for you now

[00:03:12] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:03:14] Blood on the plow

[00:03:16] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:03:18] Blood on the plow
