Home Grown Tomatoes - John Denver

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

Lord 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's a culinary bummer

I forget all about the sweatin and the diggin

Every time I go out and pick me a big’un

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, your 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

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

If I could change this life I lead

I could be 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 cemetery

Put me out in the garden would be much better

Hell I could be pushin up a home grown tomatoes

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
