Where Corn Don't Grow

As we sat on the front porch
 Of that old grey house where I was born and raised
 Staring at the dusty fields
 Where my daddy worked hard everyday
 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 emotions in his eyes
 When he looked up
 He said "son I know at your age
 It feels like this ole world is turnin' 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 17 back then
 But I thought that 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
 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
 Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow
 Hard times are real
 There's dusty fields no matter where you go
 You may change your mind
 Weeds are high where corn don't grow
 You may change your mind
 Weeds are high where corn don't grow
