about

Sometimes we end up feeling like a scarecrow, stuck in place and scaring our friends away. We feel lonely, dejected, forgotten about. This is what that song is about.

lyrics

Scarecrow Joe, what do you know?
Standing here in the field alone.
Scarecrow Joe, what have you done?
Standing here in the hot noon sun.

No ruby-slippered Kansas girl
To pull you off your stake.
You’re condemned to a life alone,
Scaring all your friends away.

A strong wind will blow you ‘part,
And I hear you have no heart.
Oh but Scarecrow Joe, I know that ain’t true,
I know well what you’re going through.

So Scarecrow Joe, with you I’ll stay,
Shove my shirt full of hay,
Dress me in thrown ‘way clothes
That dangle from my dry, dry bones.

We’ll tip our hats at a circlin’ crow
It’s just me and Scarecrow Joe
We’ll tip our hats at the circlin’ crows
It’s just me and Scarecrow Joe
