Capo on the 2nd fret
[Intro]
D G D D
[Verse 1]
D G D
As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised
Bm G D
Stared out at the dusty fields where daddy always worked hard every day
Bm G D
I think it kinda hurt him when I said "Daddy, there's a lot that I don't know
Bm G D
But don't you ever dream about a life where corn don't grow"
[Verse 2]
D G D
He just sat there silent staring in his favorite coffee cup
Bm G D
I saw the storm of mixed emotion in his eyes when he looked up
Bm G D
He said "Son, I know at your age it feels like this ol' world is turning slow
Bm G D
And you think you'll find the answer to it all, where corn don't grow"
[Chorus]
Bm G
Hard times are real, there's dusty fields
D
No matter where you go
Bm G
You may change your mind, 'cause the weeds are high
D
Where corn don't grow
[Instrumental]
Bm G D D
[Verse 3]
D G D
I remember feeling guilty when daddy turned and walked back in the house
Bm G D
I was only seventeen back then but it seems like I knew more than I do now
Bm G D
I can't say he didn't tell me this city life's a hard row to hoe
Bm G D
It's funny how a dream can turn around, where corn don't grow
[Chorus]
Bm G
Hard times are real, there's dusty fields
D
No matter where you go
Bm G
You may change your mind, 'cause the weeds are high
D
Where corn don't grow
Bm G
You may change your mind, 'cause the weeds are high
D
Where corn don't grow
