Story behind the song

This is interesting to me.  A good friend, Gene Smith sent it to me.  We rewrote a bit of it, put it to music and really liked how it turned out.

Lyrics

I rode into a ghost town in the middle of the day
I saw that old scarecrow and a field of hay
And he knew all that went on in this tiny town
He could see things far and wide for miles around

Hey Mr. Scarecrow
What have you found
Is there any gold in this old ghost town
Hey Mr. Scarecrow
What did you see
If you let me know, I’ll set you free

Tell me Mr. Scarecrow what was it like
To really know the truth about that O.K. gun fight
Did Jessee James rob all  the banks amd clean out all those trains
Or did he help the poor, like some of 'em claim


Now I’m tired of talkin’ and just standin’ around
You never answer, you don’t make a sound
Well, I think you're too smart for your own good
There’s a lot you could tell me, if you only would

Bridge:

You've seen em come, you've seen em go
When they were high, when they were low
You know the story that's not been told
You watched em die, when they got old
