Where Corn Dont Grow

WHERE CORN DON'T GROW

Recorded by Travis Tritt

Words and music by Murrah and Springer

As we sat on the front porch of that

Old gray house where I was born and [D] raised

Starin' at the dusty field

Where my daddy worked hard every [D] day

I [Bm] think it kinda hurt him when I said

Daddy there's a lot that I don't [D] know

But [Bm] don't you ever dream about a [G] life

Where corn don't [D] grow.

He just sat there cryin',

Starin' at his favorite coffee cup

I saw a storm of mixed emotions

In his eyes when he looked up

He said son at you age I know it seems

Like this old world is turning slow

And you think you'll find the answer to it all

Where corn don't grow.

Refrain

Hard times are [Bm] real

There's dusty [G] fields

No matter where you [D] go

And you may change your [Bm] mind

'Cause the weeds are [G] high

Where corn don't [D] grow.

I remember feelin' guilty

When daddy walked back in the house

I was only seventeen back then

But I thought that I knew more than I know now

I can't say he didn't warn me

City life's a hard row to hoe

Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around

Where corn don't grow.

Refrain

You may change your mind

Oh, the weeds are high

Where corn don't grow.
