One last trip past the strip mall
On 518 with the tank on F
Roads flatten out
Rows poppin' up
There he is again
Waiting on the harvest
Like a king in a garden
Right where he's supposed to be
This town was made for him
But it wasn't made for me

I couldn't just stick around
Tethered to the ground
Watching the sun go down
Without wanting to chase it
I've got my own seeds to sow
The only way they're gonna grow
Is to throw them into the wind and see where it takes them
That's why I had to go
Couldn't sit and watch the corn turn gold
Like some old scarecrow

Raised here supposed to stay here
Settle down and plant some roots
But my dreams need room to breathe
So I'm leaving the rest in the rear view
I swear he's waving goodbye
Even a straw for brains knows that I
I couldn't just stick around
Tethered to the ground
Watching the sun go down
Without wanting to chase it
I've got my own seeds to sow
The only way they're gonna grow
Is to throw them in the wind and see where it takes them
That's why I had to go
Couldn't sit and watch the corn turn gold
Like some old scarecrow

Who wasn't made to fly
He found his place and I'm on my way
To find mine

'Cause I got seeds to grow
The only way they're gonna grow
Is to throw them into the wind
And see where it takes them
That's why I had to go
Couldn't sit and watch the corn turn gold
No, I couldn't watch the corn turn gold
Like some old scarecrow
Like some old scarecrow
