Homegrown Tomatoes

There ain't nothin' in the world that I like better Than bacon and lettuce and homegrown tomatoes Up in the mornin', 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 with out 'em's a culinary bummer I forget all about the sweatin' and diggin' Everytime 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 And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes Now you can go out to eat and that's for sure But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You can make your very own tomato juice You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes You can go out to eat and that's for sure But it's nothin' a homegrown tomato won't cure Put 'em in a salad, put 'em in a stew You make your very own tomato juice You can eat 'em with eggs, you can eat 'em with gravy Eat 'em with beans, pinto or navy Put 'em on the side, put 'em in the middle Put a homegrown tomato on a hotcake griddle Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes Only two things that money can't buy And that's true love and homegrown tomatoes (yeah) Thank you all very much! Stuart Duncan and Edgar Meyer Fancy time, thank you This is um, the first time I've played in 35 years, and um... I start listenin' to what's goin' on and I forget what the hell I'm doin' Let me play this song written by my, maybe my best friend, Townes Van Zandt Townes is my favorite songwriter and... 'Bout 25, 30 years ago we were both livin' in Houston He came bangin' on my door on morning And proceeded to set up in the corner of my bedroom and... Performed this song which he had just stayed up all night writin'
