John Mellencamp - Key West Intermezzo
Scarecrow On A Wooden Cross Blackbird In The Barn
Four Hundred Empty Acres That Used To Be My Farm
I Grew Up Like My Daddy Did My Grandpa Cleared This Land
When I Was Five I Walked The Fence While Grandpa Held My Hand
Chorus:
Rain On The Scarecrow Blood On The Plow
This Land Fed A Nation This Land Made Me Proud
And Son I'm Just Sorry There's No Legacy For You Now
Rain On The Scarecrow Blood On The Plow
Rain On The Scarecrow Blood On The Plow
The Crops We Grew Last Summer Weren't Enough To Pay The Loans
Couldn't Buy The Seed To Plant This Spring And The Farmers Bank Foreclosed
Called My Old Friend Schepman Up To Auction Off The Land
He Said John It's Just My Job And I Hope You Understand
Hey Calling It Your Job Ol' Hoss Sure Don't Make It Right
But If You Want Me To I'll Say A Prayer For Your Soul Tonight
And Grandma's On The Front Porch Swing With A Bible In Her Hand
Sometimes I Hear Her Singing
