(hummmm) Straw on the fence line
Ice in his grin
Frost on the county sign,
crows on the wire
My truck coughs smoke while the fields look tired
He leans by the ditch
with a burlap face
Every road I take bends back to that place
The scarecrow, icy, staring down the road
Button eyes shining where the north wind blows
I got a bad sign hanging over me
The scarecrow, icy, won't let me leave (ooh) (ahhhh)
My brother said leave it,
don't speak his name
But the mailbox rattles like it knows my shame
Corn stalks scrape
the side of my door
That ragged old watchman wants one thing more
If I burn the field,
the smoke knows my face
If I turn around,
I lose my place
Straw in his sleeve,
ice in his grin
He waits for the part I buried within
The scarecrow, icy, staring down the road
Button eyes cutting through the winter smoke I got a bad sign
hanging over me
The scarecrow, icy, won't let me leave
Won't let me leave,
no, won't let me leave
Cold straw in the corn row
Ice on the county line
The scarecrow, icy (ooh)
Still waiting when I close my eyes
