***************** WHERE CORN DON'T GROW *****************
written by Roger Murrah and Mark Allan
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Capo on the 2nd fret.
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"
Verse 2:
He just sat there silent staring 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 ol' world is turning 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 3:
I remember feeling 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.
You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high
Where corn don't grow
