Scarecrows

We didn't have no downtown strip We'd all pile in and take a two-mile trip To where the road runs out Sit there and sip on whatever anybody's older brother could get Where we worked in the dirt and fell in love Got my heart broke, broke down my truck Trying to spin out, show off in that mud too many times So much has changed But then again, it ain't Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night Just some old plow-boys pretending we're cowboys We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go Just like the scarecrows I don't get back near enough, and just like these fields Yeah, we all grow up And it takes a little more than a paper cup to get dizzy This hundred acre stretch is buried in my bones Don't matter how long that I've been gone I can be anywhere and some song comes on And it's like I never left home Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night Just some old plow-boys pretending we're cowboys We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go Just like the scarecrows So much has changed But then again, it ain't Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows Where we threw down and we passed it around on a Friday night Just some old plow-boys pretending we're cowboys We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go Just like the scarecrows Just like the scarecrows
