Hangin' out with the scarecrow blues

On the other side of being used

The whine and the whistle of a passing train

Sounds so heavy when it says your name.

[Chorus]

Baby, when you're down, baby, when you're way down

Lost your shine and your feet are cold

You don't have to stay down, you don't have to stay down

You're like silver, you're like gold

You're like silver, you're like gold.

Wind caught up in the weather vane

Soaked to the bone from a summer rain

I'll be right here to see you through

The dust, and the rust, and the scarecrow blues.

[Chorus x2]

Baby, when you're down, baby, when you're way down

Lost your shine and your feet are cold

You don't have to stay down, you don't have to stay down

You're like silver, you're like gold

You're like silver, you're like gold.
