[00:00.00]Scarecrow In The Garden - Chris Stapleton
[00:09.22]Written by：Chris Stapleton/Brice Long/Matt Fleener
[00:18.44]Well he came from Northern Ireland
[00:22.20]Searching for the free man's ground
[00:26.14]And he came to bet his fortune
[00:30.11]On a west virginia plow
[00:38.56]He built a house of timber
[00:42.20]And raised a redhead son
[00:46.22]Then they worked the land together
[00:49.96]And prayed the rain would come
[00:56.12]There's a scarecrow in the garden
[00:59.84]That looks like lucifer
[01:03.98]And I've been reading revelations
[01:07.71]With my bare feet in the river
[01:29.55]Well the redhead's son got older
[01:33.48]And took a brown eyed wife
[01:37.21]And the fields were green as dollars
[01:40.93]Cause the dirt was black as night
[01:47.31]I came in late September
[01:50.96]The youngest one of three
[01:54.85]And my sisters off and married
[01:58.77]So the land was left to me
[02:04.40]There's a scarecrow in the garden
[02:08.42]That looks like lucifer
[02:12.50]And I've been reading revelations
[02:16.72]With my bare feet in the river
[02:22.34]I know every single fencepost
[02:26.09]Every rock that goes around
[02:30.03]I've been staring at the red oak
[02:33.91]Where I know they'll lay me down
[02:40.40]The fields ain't what they once were
[02:44.32]The rains just seem to flood
[02:48.03]And I've been thinking about that river
[02:51.87]Wondering how it turned to blood
[02:58.14]I've been sitting here all morning
[03:02.05]I was sitting here all night
[03:06.25]There's a bible in my left hand
[03:10.46]And a pistol in my right
