Danielle Clark - The Crows

He came to Iowa by way of Missouri
Wanting to work the land
I don't trust nobody in a hurry
But I needed a hand
So I put him to work and he was doing fine
Carrying his load and taking some of mine
Everything was going good 'til I could see
Some birds circling the back forty
But nobody would have known
If it hadn't been for the crows

The man I found was one I knew well
Been working for me for years
It was but an hour before darkness fell
Guess it hit early here
When they came to take him I gave them the name
Of the only person who had been with him the whole day
Now I guess the boy who was just passing through
Won't be leaving Iowa any time soon
But nobody would have known
If it hadn't been for the crows

Now there is something I forgot to mention
About the man in the ground
It had recently been brought to my attention
He was in trouble in town
An old buddy of mine had lent him some cash
He was having trouble paying all of it back
He had gotten himself in way too deep
And I was tired of it always falling on me
But nobody would have known
If it hadn't been for the crows

There are things you will do to a stranger
For the sake of a friend
It's easier to put someone else in danger
Than to sit and defend
This had been on the table for a while
Kept having to put plans back into a file
But every little detail fell into place
When that Missouri boy started walking my way
But nobody would have known
If it hadn't been for the crows
No no nobody would have known
If it hadn't been for the crows
