Where Corn Don't Grow

[Verse 1] As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised Starin' at the dusty fields where my daddy worked hard every day I think it kinda hurt him when I said, "Daddy there's a lot that I don't know But don't you ever dream about a life where corn don't grow?" [Verse 2] He just sat there silent Starin' at his favorite coffee cup I saw a storm of mixed emotion in his eyes When he looked up And he said, "Son, I know at your age It seems like this ole world is turnin' slow And you think you'll find the answer to it all Wherе corn don't grow" [Pre-Chorus] Well, let me tеll you something [Chorus] Hard times are real There's dusty fields no matter where you go And you may change your mind 'Cause those weeds are high where corn don't grow [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] I remember feeling guilty when daddy turned and walked back in the house I was only seventeen back then, but I thought that I knew more than I know now I can't say he didn't warn me this city life's a hard row to hoe Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around where corn don't grow? [Chorus] Well, hard times are real There's dusty fields no matter where you go And you may change your mind 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow You may change your mind 'Cause, oh, the weeds are high where corn don't grow [Instrumental Outro]
