Lyrics
Pawnee, Oklahoma, Christian's grocery store
There's a rodeo poster from ten years before
Boots and produce, one person in line
Two liars out front watching traffic, killing time
I looked up from the paper, the cashier cried
Colby James was in a ski mask in the middle of July
Scarecrow in a corn maze
Trying to find some way out
Storm clouds are coming, take shelter in the bar
Let the twister just spin out
I knew Colby's walk from a decade back
He put a camouflage boot on a mine in Iraq
Hobbled back home through the pews to the bars
I knew the man's walk like any face I ever saw
That morning he'd been drinking, he slurred above the gun
"I only need a hundred dollars, I'm only counting one by one"
Scarecrow in a corn maze
Trying to find some way out
Storm clouds are coming, take shelter in the bar
Let the twister just spin out
The old men on the sidewalk playing checkers with a clock
Saw Colby coming, even they knew his walk
They're used to telling stories about their wives, about the gang
This one was a legend of a man named Colby James
Sheriff shot from the cruiser 'til nothing left but gun
'Cause he only saw a ski mask and Colby couldn't run
Scarecrow in a corn maze
Trying to find some way out
Storm clouds are coming, take shelter in the bar
Let the twister just spin out
Pawnee, Oklahoma, fracking gas, drilling oil
Plowing up the fields, shaking all the topsoil
Raising up towers, harvesting the wind
All the jobs that blow away, Pawnee will never see again
We are caretakers of oil, of crops, of the wind
But Colby James was just a soldier in a war no one could win
Scarecrow in a corn maze
Trying to find some way out
Storm clouds are coming, take shelter in the bar
Let the twister just spin out
You gotta let the twister just spin out
