Version 1written by Roger Murrah and Mark Allan performed by Waylon Jennings. Capo on the 2nd fret. [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 eveyday Bm G D I think it kind of 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 a storm of mixed emotions 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] D 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 [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] D Bm G You may change your mind,'cause the weeds are high D Where corn don't grow
