Strum
D-DU-UDU
  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 eveyday
  I think  it kind of 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  in his favorite coffee cup
  I saw a storm  of mixed emotions 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
  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 do now
  I can't say  he didn't tell me this city  life's a hard row to hoe
  It's funny  how a dream can turn around,where  corn don't grow
 Chorus.
   You may change your mind,'cause  the weeds are high
  Where corn don't grow
