we didn't have no downtown strip
we'd all pile in and take a 2 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 plowboys 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 plowboys 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 plowboys 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
