[Verse 1]
As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised
Starin' at the dusty fields where my daddy 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?"
[Verse 2]
He just sat there silent, starin' 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 seems like this ole world is turnin' slow
And you think you'll find the answer to it all where corn don't grow"
[Chorus]
Hard times are real
There's dusty fields no matter where you go
But you may change your mind
'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I remember feelin' guilty when daddy turned and 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, this city life's a hard row to hoe
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around where corn don't grow?
