《Rain On The Scarecrow(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Rain On the Scarecrow (Live) - John Mellencamp

[00:00:50] Scarecrow on a wooden cross

[00:00:52] Blackbird in the barn

[00:00:54] Four hundred empty acres

[00:00:56] That used to be my farm

[00:00:58] Grew up like my daddy did

[00:01:00] My grandpa cleared this land

[00:01:02] When I was five

[00:01:03] I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand

[00:01:06] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:01:08] Blood on the plow

[00:01:10] This land fed a nation

[00:01:12] This land made me so proud

[00:01:14] And son I'm just sorry

[00:01:15] There's no legacy for you now

[00:01:18] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:01:20] Blood on the plow

[00:01:22] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:01:24] Blood on the plow

[00:01:34] The crops we grew last summer

[00:01:36] Weren't enough to pay the loans

[00:01:38] Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring

[00:01:40] And the farmers' bank foreclosed

[00:01:42] Called my old friend schepman

[00:01:43] Up to auction off the land

[00:01:45] He said

[00:01:46] John it's just my job

[00:01:47] And I hope you understand

[00:01:50] Hey calling it your job ole hoss

[00:01:52] Sure don't make it right

[00:01:54] But if you want me to

[00:01:55] I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight

[00:01:58] And grandma's on the front porch swing

[00:02:00] With a bible in her hand

[00:02:02] Sometimes I hear her singing

[00:02:03] Take me to the promised land

[00:02:06] When you take away a man's dignity

[00:02:08] He can't work his fields and cows

[00:02:09] There'll be

[00:02:10] Blood on the scarecrow

[00:02:12] Blood on the plow

[00:02:14] Blood on the scarecrow

[00:02:16] Blood on the plow

[00:03:26] There's 97 crosses

[00:03:28] Planted in the courthouse yard

[00:03:30] Ninety seven families who

[00:03:32] Lost ninety seven farms

[00:03:34] I think about my grandpa

[00:03:36] My neighbors and my name

[00:03:38] And some nights

[00:03:38] I feel like dying

[00:03:40] Like that scarecrow in the rain

[00:03:42] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:03:44] Blood on the plow

[00:03:46] This land fed a nation

[00:03:48] This land made me so proud

[00:03:50] And son I'm just sorry

[00:03:51] They're just memories for you now

[00:03:54] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:03:56] Blood on the plow

[00:03:58] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:04:00] Blood on the plow

[00:04:02] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:04:04] Blood on the plow

[00:04:06] This land fed a nation

[00:04:08] This land made me so proud

[00:04:10] Son I'm just sorry

[00:04:11] They're just memories for you now

[00:04:14] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:04:16] Blood on the plow

[00:04:18] Rain on the scarecrow

[00:04:20] Blood on the plow
