Travis Tritt - Where Corn Don't Grow (live)

[MyAntoniosoares]

One of the best country songs, for me!! Great voice

[pyramidsofgizah]

City life ain't all its cracked up to be, specially if your whole life is spent in the country. It's so easy to just become part of the faceless crowd, you lose your identity. Going from the country to the city just changes a body, and it's hard to get back to it once you move.

[asstastic25]

ive lived my whole life in the country and wont ever leave

[thisbewhitneyman]

When I was young, I wanted to move away and make big money. Now , I would rather stay close to my family and roots. This song brings a tear to my eye. Money doesn't bring happiness.

[aet0918]

Does Travis Tritt have a Bump it?

[85iceman]

I feel guilty for saying it, but......I like this version better than Waylon's.

[dannyd1572]

My 19 year old son told me he's moving 10 hours away- 600 miles. He's never been out of a 50 mile radius of his home and he thinks LIttle Rock is where its at. Im his father scared to death for him. He has no idea what he is getting into. Pry the most tough thing I've ever had to do, give my only child to the world. I just hope they take care of him.....

[shaniasmom]

@dannyd1572 How sweet are you. I have a 16yr old daughter so I understand completely. Hope your son knows how lucky he is to have a Dad who worries about him so much.

[Katcrazy7]

IMO, the best song Travis has ever done. I don't like a lot of his music, but, I absolutely love this one and the way he does it is superb!

[21Olddog]

I'm almost 53...(march 28) and I would love to live where corn grows all around me!

[gettygal94]

The Restless Kind was one of the CDs that I played over and over again on my first CD player. I <3 you! This was my favorite... #11.

[siiwy]

absolutley PHANTASTICO,, crystal clear sound,, cant get any better then this.. travis is one of the really great guys in country,, no wonder, he was admired by waylon jennings,, he sure knew why he did so... very good stuff travis :):)

[77KLC]

GAMMA1033 I echo everything that you have said. You stolen my thunder entirely. We all at a younger age dream about getting away from the homefront we call hell. Then later realize that we've gotten our own selves into that hell by moving away. Now that we're back in heaven that we ran away from we don't want to leave.

[rkflorea]

love your songs

[rkflorea]

love this song my life story also at 17

[prettytightgirl]

LOVE THIS SONG

[asvinci]

good version, but i still prefer waylon's

[rebekkajourdainn]

love that song

[ZEPPELINWEED4EVER]

i wish travis tritt would come out with some new music. He has that outlaw country/rock feel that not many have these days. Most of todays country is a bunch of queers like Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts who wouldn't know real country music if it bit them on their ass. Jamey Johnson is the real deal.

[Kinkizzy09]

I could listen to TT all day!

[jerryk937]

Travis is one the the few artist that sounds as good live as he does on recordings!!! truly one of the greatest!!!...

[virago1776]

jerryk937-That's the way it is with true country.

Their music isn't made in the studio.

It's actually real.

[2253glen]

@virago1776 That's the way it is with true MUSIC, of any genre. Heartfelt and based in reality.

[gamma1033]

I spent much of the first 18 years of my life dreaming of where corn don't grow, and the next 40 years dreaming of getting back to where corn does grow. I'm not sure it is possible to ever appreciate what you have - without experiencing being without it.

[jzzamie]

@gamma1033 FOR SURE!!!

[stone8675309]

@gamma1033 very well said.

[jcpeterman]

@gamma1033 its that old saying "you dont know what you have untill you lose it"

[GenuineCriminal]

@gamma1033 You don't know what you have till its gone

[Jeffro1277]

@gamma1033 I'm right there with you. I grew up in a small country town in Michigan and don't call me a yankee cuz we're just as country as people are in the south but I live in Texas now but I'm more in the city in Texas than I was back home. You can spend 2 hours a day in Austin traffic and that's on a good day. Where I'm from you can drive 10 miles all on dirt roads in around 10 to 20 minutes. Here you can drive 10 miles about an hour GRRR I miss where the corn grows

[pap4500]

This song make's me think of the disagreements with my own Dad and it hurt's deep down inside.

[virago1776]

pap4500-Your Dad quite likely thinks about the disagreements he had with his own Dad and it hurts him as well.

If not, he didn't learn anything from it.

And your son, if you have one, will be no different.

That's just the way it works.

[fst06stg]

so underrated! travis has never conformed, which obviously why he was never as popular as he shouldve been.

[tothehunt]

i fuckin hate where corn dont grow. its where im stuck now.

[danielh35]

I hear ya! I made that mistake myself once... I fixed it with the quickness

[pickledouche]

Just my opinion but i think Travis did better at this song then Waylon. I love living in the country nothing beats it.

[night455]

4 years ago I moved away from the corn fields in southern indiana... To the hustle and bustle of central indiana and indianapolis....

Man I miss the slow paced life among the acres of corn I grew up in....

[sherrillwallace]

My video of this song is a true story. Check it out. sherrill

[alrounder11]

I've never had to live where corn don't grow!

[bryanrobertson]

My yard is a cornfield. And, I squeeze a few gallons every year just before the harvest.

[scooterdelmar]

I have trouble relating to this song because I have always live along the coast in San Diego, CA. Is there truth to this song?

[bigdmck01]

Yes, there is very much truth in this song. Where Corn Don't Grow is a metaphor. The first verses of the song is talking about somebody who is young, thinks they know it all, and thinks they can make it in the outside world, despite the warnings from friends and family (a typical rebellious kid). The last verse talks about that young kid growing up, realizing they weren't as smart as they thought they were and learned the hard way to lifes lessons.

[scooterdelmar]

I appreciate your insight. I will confess that it is true from the other side as well. I moved to Oklahoma for college when I was 18 and had a very very difficult time adjusting. I ended up running back home after only 3 years and finishing there.

[matmcghee]

@bigdmck01 was gonna answer that question but i read your response and i couldnt have said it better myself

[Anthony4x4]

@bigdmck01 id like to add to yer already prefect comment,that its not about where you live or being able to directly/personally relate to a song but rather understanding the message and story being told.this goes for any type of music,but especially country

[Delmer7]

@scooterdelmar Delmar? I knew a Delmar. Pretty rare name. I think it hurt his father more that he said there are a lot of things I don't know. Things his father thought he instilled in him.

[liabatud67]

You're blessed.

[Madmelodist]

Love this song! A WHOLE LOTTA TRUTH to it too! "Where Corn Don't Grow" I'VE BEEN THERE! 5*****

Thanx,

Sam

[daiku05353]
