Where Corn Don't Grow (Live)

As we sat on the front porch

of that old grey 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 ole 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 row 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.

You may change your mind

cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow.

You may change your mind

oh the weeds are high where corn don't grow.
