ARTIST: Guy Clark TITLE: Homegrown Tomatoes Lyrics and Chords There's nothin' in the world that I like better than Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes Up in the morning and out in the garden Pick you a ripe one, don't get a hard 'un Plant 'em in the springtime eat 'em in the summer All winter without 'em's a culinary bummer I forget all about the sweatin' and the diggin' Every time I go out and pick me a big'un / C - / F - / G7 - / C - / : Refrain Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What'd life be without home grown tomatoes There's only two things that money can't buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes You can go out and eat 'em, that's for sure But there's nothin' a home grown tomato won't cure You can 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, you can eat 'em with gravy You can eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put em on the side, put em on the middle Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle Refrain If I could change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed I know what this country needs It's home grown 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 Where I could be pushin' up home grown tomatoes Refrain twice |
