WHERE CORN DON'T GROW
Recorded by Travis Tritt
(D) As we sat on the front porch of that
(G) Old gray house where I was born and (D) raised
(Bm) Starin' at the dusty field
(G) Where my daddy worked hard every (D) day
I (Bm) think it kinda hurt him when I said
(G) 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
(D) 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.

He just sat there silent staring at his favorite coffee cup. -gmeyer99 | 9/21/2002 | you need a capo on the second fret with those chords to get the right sound
-floydian | 4/1/2004 | Just a small comment for authenticity reasons only. Line#3 field should be plural. -hovey30 | 10/5/2004 | the song is not played in D it is played in E.but thanks for the lyrics. -darkstar501 | 2/10/2005 | Could someone please fill in the other verses with the chords, i'm just learning and i'm assuming the chords follow suit with the above verses, to play these chords a capo needs to be on 2?, d is alot easier than e for beginners, i have a hard time with B, Bm, and B7. Thanks to anyone that can help
-cwrote | 7/9/2010 | Your soppose to tune your low e to d is how Travis plays it. -Djhollis | 6/19/2019 |
