As we sat on the front porch [A] of that old gray house where I was born and raised,
we stared [C#] out at the dusty fields [A] where Daddy always worked hard [E] every day.
[C#m] I think it kind of hurt him when [A] I said, Daddy, there's a lot that I [E] don't know.
[C#m] But don't you ever dream [A] about a life where corn [E] don't grow.
He just sat there silent, [A]
staring in his favorite [E] coffee cup.
I [C#m] saw a storm of mixed emotion [A] in his eye when [E] he looked up.
[C#m] He said, Son, I know it's your [A] age.
It feels like this whole world is [E] turning slow.
[C#m] And you'd think you'd find the answer [A] to it all where corn [E] don't grow.
But [C#m] don't you ever dream there's [A] dusty fields no matter [E] where you go.
You may [C#m] change your mind, because the [A] weeds are high where corn [E] don't grow.

I remember feeling guilty [A] when Daddy turned and walked back [E] in the house.
[C#m] I was only seventeen back [A] then, but it seems like I knew more than [E] I do now.
I [C#m] can't say he didn't tell me [A] this city life's a hard [E] road to go.
[C#m] It's funny how a dream can [A] turn around where corn [E] don't grow.
But [C#m] don't you ever dream there's [A] dusty fields no matter where [E] you go.
You may change [C#m] your mind, because the weeds [A] are high where corn don't [E] grow.
You may change your [C#m] mind, because the weeds are [A] high where corn [E] don't grow.
