Lyrics for Key West Intermezzo by John Mellencamp:
| | | Artist: | John Mellencamp |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Key West Intermezzo | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 93 | | | | Lyrics: | 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
