Two blackbirds move across a thundercloud sky
The cornfields rustling as the wind goes by
Well it won't be long til the rain begins to fall
I know I gotta keep standing through it all
Well I pull my hat strap tight underneath my chin
Gotta keep the water out and the wheat straw in
I can't feel my legs underneath my overhauls
I ain't got the strength to run when the thunder rolls
You stood me up like a hand me down scarecrow
Put me in the field where the beans and the corn grow
And never told me the reason why
If I could find my feet I'd follow you
I'd like to cry but it's a little too hard to
Shed a tear with a painted on eye
Since you stood me up and left me out to dry
You had it all built up in my mind when I met you
A house on a hill and a front porch made for two
Saying if you need the work there's work round here
Boy it's gonna be a bumper crop this year
Well I thought I'd be taking you out on the town
Instead of you taking me out and putting me down
Said I oughta hang around as much as I could
Then you staked my future out with two pieces of wood
You stood me up like a hand me down scarecrow
Put me in the field where the beans and the corn grow
And never told me the reason why
If I could find my feet I'd follow you
I'd like to cry but it's a little too hard to
Shed a tear with a painted on eye
Since you stood me up and left me out to dry
