1. This song is about rain on a scarecrow. There is also blood on a plow. The person obviously lives on a farm because he has a scarecrow and a plow.
2. Some conflicts that the song would address are that the scarecrow would get all wet and soggy and the plow would get dirty because of the blood.
3. Mellencamp uses symbols of rain and blood to represent the hard times in his life.
4. Mellencamp chooses words like "blood" and "rain" because he is sad and he wants to die.
5. Mellencamp seems to favor dry scarecrows. He represents the dry scarecrows sympathetically. He seems to be on the side of the scarecrow.
