Travis Tritt Where Corn Don't Grow

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.
