There ain? nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon 'n lettuce 'n home grown tomatoes Up in the mornin', out in the garden Get you a ripe one, don? pick a hard 'un Plant 'em in the spring, eat 'em in the summer All winter without 'em is a culinary bummer I forget all about the sweatinand the digginEvery time I go out and pick me a big 'un Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without home grown tomatoes Only two things that money can? buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes You can go out to eat an that? for sure But there? nothina home grown tomatoe won? cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You can make your own tomatoe 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 Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without home grown tomatoes Only two things that money can? buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes If I? to change this life I lead You could call me Johnny Tomatoe Seed 'Cause I know what this country needs Home grown tomatoes in every yard you see When I die don? 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 home grown tomatoe Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes What would life be like without home grown tomatoes Only two things that money can? buy That's true love and home grown tomatoes Words and music by Guy Clark
