John Denver — Homegrown Tomatoes

[Verse 1] Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon an' lettuce n' homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin', an' out in the garden Get you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un Plant 'em in the spring, you eat 'em in the summer All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer I forgot all about the sweatin' and the diggin' Every time I go out and pick me a big'un [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes [Verse 2] Well, you can go out a'eat, that's for sure But there's nothin' that 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 You can eat 'em with eggs, can eat 'em with gravy You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle Homegrown tomato on a hot cake griddle [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes? Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes [Verse 3] If I's to change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoseed 'Cause I know what this country needs Homegrown tomatoes'n 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 be a-pushin' up a-homegrown tomatoes [Chorus] Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes? There's only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes? There's only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes
