[Verse]
Eb                             
■  As we sat on the front porch
   Ab                                       Eb    
Of that old gray house where I was born and raised
                            Ab                         Eb      
Staring at the dusty fields where my daddy worked hard everyday
  Cm                                 
I think it kinda hurt him when I said
Ab                         Eb        
Daddy there's a lot that I don't know
Cm                               Ab  
But don't you ever dream about a life
                 Eb  
Where corn don't grow
                         Ab                             Eb 
He just sat there silent staring at his favorite coffee cup
        Cm                             Ab           Eb       
I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes when he looked up
        Cm                    
He said Son I know at your age
   Ab                           Eb          
It seems like this ole world is turnin' slow
        Cm                                 Ab 
And you think you'll find the answer to it all
                 Ab  
Where corn don't grow
Eb                            
Well let me tell you something


[Chorus]
               Cm  
Hard times are real
Cm7           Ab                         Eb
There's dusty fields no matter where you go
                    Cm7  Cm Cm7                    Ab  
You may change your mind ■  'cause those weeds are high
                 Eb  
Where corn don't grow

[Verse]
  Eb                     
I remember feeling guilty
Ab                                       Eb   
When daddy turned and walked back in the house
           Cm                 
I was only seventeen back then
    Ab                                Eb      
But I thought that I knew more than I know now
        Cm                   
I can't say he didn't warn me
Ab                               Eb 
'cause city life's a hard row to hoe
         Cm7                        Ab    
Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around
                 Eb  
Where corn don't grow


[Chorus]
               Cm  
Hard times are real
              Ab                         Eb
There's dusty fields no matter where you go
                    Cm                        Ab  
You may change your mind 'cause the weeds are high
                 Eb  
Where corn don't grow
                    Cm                           Ab  
You may change your mind 'cause oh the weeds are high
                 Ab  
Where corn don't grow
