Where Corn Don’t Grow Lyrics

[Verse 1]As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raisedStarin' at the dusty fields where my daddy worked hard every dayI think it kinda hurt him when I said, "Daddy there's a lot that I don't knowBut 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 cupI saw a storm of mixed emotion in his eyes when he looked upHe said, "Son, I know at your age it seems like this ole world is turnin' slowAnd you think you'll find the answer to it all where corn don't grow"[Chorus]Hard times are realThere's dusty fields no matter where you goBut 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 houseI was only seventeen back then but I thought that I knew more than I know nowI can't say he didn't warn me, this city life's a hard row to hoeAin't it funny how a dream can turn around where corn don't grow?See Travis Tritt LiveGet tickets as low as $84You might also like[Chorus]Hard times are realThere's dusty fields no matter where you goAnd you may change your mind'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't growYou may change your mindOh, the weeds are high where corn don't growEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
