Lyrics: The Blue Dogs. Homegrown Tomatoes.

There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes
Up in the mornin' and 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

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out to eat and that's for sure
But there's nothin' a homegrown tomatoes won't cure
Put 'em in a salad and put 'em in a stew
You can make your 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
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

If i have to change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
'Cause I know what this country needs
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
'Cause I could be pushin' up a home grown tomatoes

Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
There's only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

Home grown tomatoes
What would life be like without homegrown tomatoes
There's only two things that money can't buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes
