--- Start Of Where Corn Dont Grow ---
As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised
Starin' at the dusty fields where 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
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 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 ... cause the weeds are high ... where corn don't grow
BREAK
I remember feeling guilty ... when Daddy turned and walked back in the house
I was only seventeen back then but It seemed like 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
Its 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 ... cause the weeds are high ... where corn don't grow
You may change your mind ... cause the weeds are high ... where corn don't grow
