Homegrown Tomatoes - John Denver

There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better

Than bacon n' lettuce n' homegrown tomatoes

Up in the mornin', out in the garden

Get you a ripe one, don't get a hard un

Plant em in the spring, eat em in the summer

All winter without em is a culinary bummer

I forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin'

Everytime I go out and pick me a big un

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and homegrown tomatoes

You can go out to eat, that's for sure

But there's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure

Put em in a salad, put em in a stew

You can make your own very own tomato juice

Eat em with eggs, eat em with gravy

Eat em with beans, pinto or navy

Put em on the side, put em in the middle

Homegrown tomato on a hot cake griddle

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and homegrown tomatoes

If I's to change this life I lead

You'd call me Johnny Tomatoseed

'Cause I know what this country needs

Homegrown tomatoes every yard you see

When I die don't bury me

In a box in a cold dark cemetery

Out in the garden would be much better

'Cause I could get a-pushin' with the homegrown tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things that money can't buy

That's true love and homegrown tomatoes

Homegrown tomatoes

What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes

Only two things money cannot buy

That's true love and homegrown tomatoes
