[Intro] | E | E | E | E [Verse 1]
   E
As we sat on the front porch

         A                                  E
Of that old grey house where I was born and raised

C#m
Staring at the dusty fields

A                                E
Where my daddy worked hard every day

  C#m
I think it kinda hurt him when I said

 A                                E
"Daddy there's a lot that I don't know

    C#m                          A
But don't you ever dream about a life

                  E
Where corn don't grow?"
[Verse 2]
E
He just sat there silent

A                               E
Staring at his favorite coffee cup

        C#m                            A
I saw a storm of mixed emotion in his eyes

               E
When he looked up

         C#m
He said "son, I know at your age

   A                                    E
It seems like this ole world is turnin' slow

        C#m                                A
And you think you'll find the answer to it all

                  E
Where corn don't grow."
[Chorus]
               C#m
Hard times are real

              A                          E
There's dusty fields no matter where you go

                    C#m
You may change your mind

                     A                      E
'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow
[Instrumental] | C#m | A | E | E | | C#m | A | | E | E | E | E [Verse 3]
    E
I remember feeling guilty

     A                                   E
When Daddy turned and walked back in the house

      C#m
I was only 17 back then

      A                                    E
But I thought that I knew more than I know now

        C#m
I can't say he didn't warn me

     A                         E
This city life's a hard row to hoe

         C#m                         A
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around

                  E
Where corn don't grow
[Chorus]
               C#m
Hard times are real

              A                          E
There's dusty fields no matter where you go

                        C#m
And you may change your mind

                     A                      E
'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow

                    C#m
You may change your mind

                  A                      E
Oh, the weeds are high where corn don't grow
