Where Corn Don't Grow

As we sat on the front porch of that old gray 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 seems like this old 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 roe 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
 And 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
