Singin’ to the Scarecrow Lyrics by Sherrié Austin

Streets of Heaven

0

(Dennis Linde)
In a pair of faded coveralls
And her mama's old high heels
She wobbles up and takes a shaky bow
She smiles a little smile
That hides her missing baby tooth
And she manages to sing that way some how
Why she starts with "Delta Dawn"
And goes into "Amazing Grace"
Then squints her eyes and sings, "I Fought the Law"
And when the wind comes sweeping in
And ripples through the corn
To her it sounds exactly like applause
She's just singin' to the scarecrow
Dancin' through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms
Tryin' to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels
To be here on this South Kentucky farm
Singin' to the scarecrow
She looks into his patchwork eyes
And looks into his heart
And tries to find a song to ease his pain
And she sings "Faded Love"
Until the sunny sky grows dark
And his tears are falling in the summer rain
And she's singin' to the scarecrow
Dancing through the fields
With a kitten named Bojangles in her arms
Tryin' to let the whole world know how wonderful it feels
To be here on this South Kentucky farm
Singing to the scarecrow
Well now that little girl is grown
She's in a band out on the road
She left those green Kentucky fields behind
But she sings herself back home
When she's at the microphone
And she smiles that funny smile and shuts her eyes
Yeah she's still singin' to the scarecrow
Tryin' to let the whole world know
How wonderful it feels
To be here on this South Kentucky farm
Singing to the scarecrow
Singing to the scarecrow
Hey.. Yeah!
