Guy Clark - Homegrown Tomatoes lyrics

Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon & lettuce & homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin' out in the garden Get you a ripe one don't get a hard one Plant 'em in the spring eat 'em in the summer All winter with out 'em's a culinary bummer I forget all about the sweatin' & diggin' Everytime I go out & pick me a big one Homegrown tomatoes homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money can't buy That's true love & homegrown tomatoes You can go out to eat & that's for sure But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You can make your very own tomato juice Eat 'em with egss, eat 'em with gravy Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the site put 'em in the middle Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle If I's to change this life I lead I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed 'Cause I know what this country needs Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see When I die don't bury me In a box in a cemetary Out in the garden would be much better I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes
