Guy Clark - Homegrown Tomatoes Lyrics
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like betterThan bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoesUp in the mornin' out in the gardenGet you a ripe one don't get a hard onePlant `em in the spring eat `em in the summerAll winter with out `em's a culinary bummerI forget all about the sweatin' & diggin'Everytime I go out & pick me a big oneHomegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoesWhat'd life be without homegrown tomatoesOnly two things that money can't buyThat's true love & homegrown tomatoesYou can go out to eat & that's for sureBut it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't curePut `em in a salad, put `em in a stewYou can make your very own tomato juiceEat `em with egss, eat `em with gravyEat `em with beans, pinto or navyPut `em on the site put `em in the middlePut a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddleIf I's to change this life I leadI'd be Johnny Tomato Seed`Cause I know what this country needsHomegrown tomatoes in every yard you seeWhen I die don't bury meIn a box in a cemetaryOut in the garden would be much betterI could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
