Waylon Jennings — Where Corn Dont Grow

[Verse 1] As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised Stared out at the dusty fields where daddy always worked hard eveyday I think it kind of 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, starin' in 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 feels 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 You may change your mind 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow [Verse 2] I remember feelin' guilty when daddy turned and walked back in the house I was only seventeen back then, but it seems like I knew more than I do now I can't say he didn't tell me this city life's a hard row to hoe It's funny how a dream can turn around Where corn don't grow [Chorus] 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 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow
