[Verse 1]
C                 Em  
We didn't have no downtown strip
      D                     Bm
We'd all pile in and take a 2 mile trip
             C
To where the road runs out
Em                        D
Sit there and sip on whatever anybody's older brother could get
         C                      Em
Where we worked in the dirt and fell in love
       D                  Bm
Got my heart broke, broke down my truck
          C                  Em              D
Trying to spin out, show off in that mud too many times


[Pre-Chorus]
            C       Em
So much has changed
                   D
But then again, it ain't


[Chorus]
              C                         G
Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows
            D                            Em
We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows
               C                      G                  D
Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night
              C                         G
Just some old plowboys pretending we're cowboys
             D                           Em
We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys
             C                        G                  D
Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go
              C          Em Bm
Just like the scarecrows


[Verse 2]
C                Em              D              
I don't get back near enough and just like these fields
         Bm                    
Yeah, we all grow up
       C                          Em               D
And it takes a little more than a paper cup to get dizzy
     C                       Em           
This hundred acre stretch is buried in my bones
      D                    Bm
Don't matter how long that I've been gone
      C                    Em
I can be anywhere and some song comes on
    D
And it's like I never left home


[Chorus]
              C                         G
Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows
            D                            Em
We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows
               C                      G                  D
Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night
              C                         G
Just some old plowboys pretending we're cowboys
             D                           Em
We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys
             C                        G                  D
Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go
              C          Em D
Just like the scarecrows

But then again, it ain't

            D                            Em
We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows
               C                      G                  D
Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night
              C                         G
Just some old plowboys pretending we're cowboys
             D                           Em

Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go
              C          Em Bm
Just like the scarecrows
              C          Em D
Just like the scarecrows
C Em Bm
