Verse 1

In my uncle's town...

Everybody grows corn.

It ain't a business...

It's a habit.

Calloused hands...

And bent backs.

Corn is their life...

And their life is corn.

Pre-Chorus

They ain't rich...

They ain't poor.

They're corn folks...

Who don't ask for more.

Chorus

Corn folks...

The land is their home.

Corn folks...

The sun is their time.

No clock...

No rush.

Corn folks...

The harvest is their smile.

Verse 2

My uncle's wife...

Works the field too.

No gloves...

No hat.

Just her hands...

And her eyes on the ground.

The corn don't ask...

And neither does she.

Pre-Chorus

They ain't rich...

They ain't poor.

They're corn folks...

Who don't ask for more.

Chorus

Corn folks...

The land is their home.

Corn folks...

The sun is their time.

No clock...

No rush.

Corn folks...

The harvest is their smile.

Outro

The town's still there...

And the corn too.

Corn folks...

Don't leave.

Corn folks...

Always come back.
