John Denver - Home Grown Tomatoes lyrics

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

Than bacon 'n lettuce 'n homegrown tomatoes

Up in the morning, 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 without 'em is a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin'

Every time I go out and 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 and homegrown tomatoes

You can go out and eat an 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

You can eat 'em with eggs, 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

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 could call me Johnny Tomato-seed

'Cause I know what this country needs

Is homegrown tomatoes in 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 pushin' up a 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
