As we sat on the front porch Of that old grey house where I was born and raised Staring at the dusty fields Where my daddy worked hard everyday I think it kinda hurt him when I said "Daddy there's a lot that I don't know But don't you ever dream about a life Where corn don't grow?" He just sat there silent Staring at his favorite coffee cup I saw a storm of mixed emotions in his eyes When he looked up He said "Son, I know at your age It seems like this ole world is turnin' slow And you think you'll find the answer to it all Wherе corn don't grow" Hard times are real Thеre's dusty fields no matter where you go You may change your mind 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow I remember feeling guilty When Daddy turned and walked back in the house I was only 17 back then But I thought that I knew more than I know now I can't say he didn't warn me This city life's a hard row to hoe Ain't it funny how a dream can turn around Where corn don't grow Hard times are real There's dusty fields no matter where you go You may change your mind 'Cause the weeds are high where corn don't grow You may change your mind Oh, the weeds are high where corn don't grow

I've been searching for my dream A hundred times today I build them up, you knock them down Like they were made of clay Then the tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay You keep looking for someone To tell your troubles to I'll sit down and lend an ear Yet, I'll hear nothing new Then the tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay The tide rushes in and washes my castles away Then I'm really not so sure which side of the bed I should lay I should lay-ay-ay-ay Blackbird sitting in a tree Observing what's below Acorns falling to the ground He'll stay and watch them grow

Roll me through the rushes like Moses Roll me through the rushes just like Moses Roll me through the rushes like Moses Guide me to the new woman who waits Current, leave me on the banks By the cottage Wher we will dine with silver cups And golden plates Roll me through the rushes like Moses Roll me through the rushes just like Moses I've prepared for my last journey You know I've worked all my life To make this basket strong But a woman alone on a river She can't stay in the water too long I've been chilled, I've lost my will And I've stayed away from rivers Much too long I really must stay in this dirty dirty city Till I found out that my strength was gone Roll me through the rushes like Moses Roll me through the rushes just like Moses Just like Moses Make my journey, make it short in space Let me lose this hardness that I got now, Lord Water, wash away all traces of hate I will do what you say If you just show me how, river Roll me through the rushes like Moses Roll me through the rushes just like Moses Roll me through the rushes like Moses Roll me through the rushes Just like Moses on the Nile River, river (sail) River, river (sail) River, river (sail) River, river (sail)
