  			Where Corn Don't Grow 
 
(E)As we sat on the front porch of that old (A)grey house when I was born and 
(E)raised 
(C#m)Starin at the dusty fields where my (A)daddy worked hard every (E)day 
I (C#m)think it kinda hurt him when I said (A)daddy there's a lot that I 
don't (E)know 
But (C#m)don't you ever dream about a (A)life where corn don't (E)grow. 
 
(E)He just sat there silent (A)staring at his favorite coffee (E)cup 
I saw a (C#m)storm of mixed emotion in his (A)eyes when he looked (E)up 
He said (C#m)son I know at your age (A)seems like this ol' world is turning 
(E)slow 
And you (C#m)think you'll find the answer to it (A)all where corn don't 
(E)grow. 
 
Hard times are (C#m)real 
there's dusty (A)fields no matter where you (E)go 
you may chang your (C#m)mind 
Cause the weeds are (A)high where corn don't (E)grow 
 
(Repeat the Verse Progression) 
 
I remember felling guilty and when daddy turned and walked back in the house 
I was only seventeen back then 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 
(Chorus and Tag the last line--end)
