Where Corn Don't Grow Lyrics

As we sat on the front porch
Of that old grey house where I was born and raised
Stared out at the dusty fields
Where daddy always 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

He just sat there silent
Staring at his favorite coffee cup
I saw a storm of mixed emotion in his eyes
When he looked up
He said: Son, I know at your age
It feels like this ol' world is turning slow
And do you think you'll find the answer to it all
Where corn don't grow

Hard times are real
There's dusty fields
No matter where you go
You may change your mind
Because the weeds are high
Wherec orn don't grow

I remember feeling guilty
When Daddy turned and walked back in the house
I was only seventeen back then
But it seems like I knew more than I know now
I can't say he didn't tell me
The city life's a hard row to hoe
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around
Where corn don't grow

Hard times are real
There's dusty fields
No matter where you go
You may change your mind
Because the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow

You may change your mind
Because the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow
