Where Corn Don't Grow

Where Corn Don't Grow - Waylon Jennings (維隆·傑寧斯)

As we sat on the front porch

Of that ole gray house where I was born and raised

And stared out at the dusty fields

Where daddys always worked hard every day

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 in his favorite coffee cup

I saw a storm of mixed emotion

In his eyes when he looked up

He said Son I know at your age it feels

Like this old world is turning slow

And you think you'll find the answer

To it all where corn don't grow

But 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 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 lifes a hard row to hoe

It's funny how a dream can turn around

Where corn don't grow

But 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
