Song: Where corn don't grow
[Verse 1]
D
As we sat on the front porch of that
G D
Old gray house where I was born and raised
Bm
Starin' at the dusty field
G D
Where my daddy worked hard every day
Bm
I think it kinda hurt him when I said
G D
Daddy there's a lot that I don't know
Bm G
But don't you ever dream about a life
D
Where corn don't grow.
He just sat there silent',
Starin' at his favorite coffee cup
I saw a storm of mixed emotions
In his eyes when he looked up
He said son at you age I know it seems
Like this old world is turning slow
And you think you'll find the answer to it all
Where corn don't grow.
[Verse 2]
D Bm
Hard times are real
G
There's dusty fields
D
No matter where you go
Bm
And you may change your mind
G
'Cause the weeds are high
D
Where corn don't grow.
I remember feelin' guilty
When daddy walked back in the house
I was only seventeen back then
But I thought that I knew more than I know now
I can't say he didn't warn me
City life's a hard row to hoe
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around
Where corn don't grow.
[Outro]
You may change your mind
Oh, the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow.
