Homegrown Tomatoes (Live)

Lyrics

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'
