Scarecrow Blues
Jay Ottaway

Boulders screaming down the mountains
Mud slides ripping up the roads
Hope this house can keep us safe
Pray these levees hold

Thunder echoes in the valley
Lighting blazes through the dark
Windows shake like rattle snakes
Fear cuts through our hearts

Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
Like a rag doll flung around and chewed
By wild dogs, there's nothing left to do
But hang tight, keep myself alive
Until the worst is through

Moved here looking for some weather
Sunny California skies
Now I miss those stone cold grey
East Coast winter nights

Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
Like a rag doll flung around and chewed
By wild dogs, there's nothing left to do
But hang tight, keep myself alive
Until the worst is through

River's rising
Floods flash for my eyes
Neighbor's yard a battle scar
Just have to make it through the night

Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
Like a rag doll flung around and chewed
By wild dogs, there's nothing left to do
But hang tight, keep myself alive
Until the worst is through

Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
Oh Lord, got those scarecrow blues
