John Denver - Home Grown Tomatoes (Country Roads-Very Best Of John)
There ainç¶ 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, donç¶ 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 canç¶ buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes You can go out to eat an thatçµ for
sure But thereçµ nothina home grown tomatoe wonç¶ 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 canç¶ buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes If Içµ 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 donç¶ 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 canç¶ buy
That's true love and home grown tomatoes

For all of you who keep saying this is not John Denver, you are wrong. This is very much John
Denver. I would know, I put it on here. So quit commenting that it is not him, please.
I had forgotten how much I love this song! just heard it on the radio. BEAUTIFUL!

My late husband, Milt, loved this song - it is my favorite. It was popular when we lived on a ten acre farm in Michigan years ago. John Denver is a great artist.

I always request this song whenever I went back home to the Philippines. I love JD, the most wonderful singer & song writer when it comes to country music!

I cried for a week at the loss of John Denver. I have all his records and tapes, and always adored his music.

I just got back from my latest deployment...this time to Afghanistan, and this song really tells the story for me...Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down, feel your fingers feather soft upon me...
Awesome tune for me right now, Thanks JD...
