Where Corn Dont Grow
By Waylon Jennings

Where Corn Dont Grow is just one of many Waylon Jennings songs here. Below are the lyrics plus a few links to other Waylon classics. I only have a partial demo on this because the format of the earlier tutorials were section by section and not a full version tutorial.

Waylon released this song in 1990 and had mild success with it on the country chartis, peaking at #67. Six years later in 1996, Travis Tritt recorded the song and took it up to #6.

--- 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
