As we sat on the front porch of that old grey house where I was born and raised
A minorAm FF C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC
Staring at the dusty fields where my daddy worked hard everyday
A minorAm FF C majorC Csus2Csus2 C majorC
I think it kinda hurt him when I said "Daddy there's a lot that I don't know
A minorAm FF C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC
But don't you ever dream about a life where corn don't grow?"

C majorC FF C majorC
He just sat there silent staring at his favorite coffee cup
A minorAm FF C majorC Csus4Csus4 C majorC
I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes when he looked up
A minorAm FF C majorC
He said "Son, I know at your age, it seems like this ole world is turnin' slow
A minorAm FF C majorC
And you think you'll find the answer to it all where corn don't grow"

I can't say he didn't warn me, this city life's a hard row to hoe
