Yeah you and your friends, ten years old
Sneaking Beech Nut on back in the row
Sell it at a market on Saturdays
Halloween getting lost with a girl in the maze
Throwing cobs at the cars that are passing
Sheriff comes out and you hide and you laugh
You’re praying for the sun, praying for the rain
Praying over muffins that your grandma made
Corn in the truck, corn in the field
Corn in the bottom of a moonshine still
Corn in a kettle, corn in a skillet
Corn in a jug, hot damn you can feel it
Corn for the chicken, corn for the deer
Corn for as far as you can see around here
Leanin’ on a fence in a Carhartt hat with a farmer’s tan
Sayin’ man look at all that corn
Yeah all that corn
Yeah, It ain’t no wonder why you love it
You got your first kiss in a barn full of it
Drank your first beer, learned to play guitar
At a turnrow party with a tailgate bar
Farmer’s daughter and a John Deere man
Saving your money, put a ring on her hand
Now you’re raising more than a Silver Queen
In a little farmhouse by a field of dreams
Corn in the truck, corn in the field
Corn in the bottom of a moonshine still
Corn in a kettle, corn in a skillet
Corn in a jug, hot damn you can feel it
Corn for the chicken, corn for the deer
Corn for as far as you can see around here
From the Ohio River to the northern plat
Every highway, byway
Hey look at all that corn
All that corn
Yeah corn in a bag that you toss in a hole
Corn on a hook at the end of a pole
Corn popping up at the movie in a bucket
First you gotta grow it, gotta pick it, gotta shuck it
Corn in the truck, corn in the field
Corn in the bottom of a moonshine still
Corn in a kettle, corn in a skillet
Corn in a jug, hot damn you can feel it
Corn for the chicken, corn for the deer
Corn for as far as you can see around here
End this song the way it began
Started with a C and end with a N
Corn, yeah all that corn
