Where Corn Don't Grow Lyrics

Edit Lyrics As we sat on that front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raisedStaring at the dusty fields where my Daddy work hard every dayI 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 cupI saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes, when he looked upHe said "Son I know at your age, seems like this old 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.I remember feeling guilty when Daddy turned and walked back in the houseI was only seventeen back then, but I thought I knew more than I know now.I can't say he didn't worn me, this city life's a hard road to holdAin't it funny how a dream can turn around, where corn don't grow[Chorus]You may change your mind, whoa the weeds are high, where corn don't grow.

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is pretty straightforward. For kids growing up in rural America, there is a great misconception that the city is the answer to all of their problems. A great many farm kids make this mistake and wind up regretting it later on in life.

"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."

For others, instead of leaving and moving to the city, the city comes to them. Take it from someone who grew up in rural Virginia. The encroaching suburbs of Washington DC have all but destroyed my boyhood home, and with them have come pollution, traffic, gangs, drugs, murders, rampant development, snobby rich people, large numbers of illegal immigrants, an increased cost of living, and a decreased quality of life. Waylon Jennings (who originally sang this song, God rest his soul), Travis Tritt and many other country artists know as I do, that the weed really are high, where corn don't grow.

So many good references to objects that make you feel at home. When he sings about his dad staring at his favorite coffee cup you feel how this is such a REAL part of their lives.

This is such a great song, I would love to here the Waylon original.

"I can't say he didn't worn me, this city life's a hard road to hold Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around, where corn don't grow"

What is a "hard road to hold"......how about a "hard roe to hoe"?

Pretty close, yes. It's warn, not worn, and row, not roe.
