Where Corn Don`t Grow
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
Where Corn Don`t Grow

Of that old grey house where I was born and raised
