Guy Clark - Homegrown Tomatoes

I wish I had this in better quality, but the performance is worth sharing.
Lyrics ('cause I know you'll want to sing along!) ...
Ain't nothin' in the world that I like better
Than bacon & lettuce & 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' & diggin'
Every time I go out & pick me a big'n
Homegrown tomatoes, homegrown tomatoes
What'd life be without homegrown tomatoes
Only two things that money can't buy
That's true love & homegrown tomatoes
You can go out to eat & 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
Eat `em with eggs, 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
If I's to change this life I lead
I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed
`Cause I know what this country needs
Homegrown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don't bury me
In a box in a cemetary
Out in the garden would be much better
I could be pushin' up homegrown tomatoes

It was 1983 - Songwriters' Showcase. You can see Rodney Crowell and John Prine sitting on stage. "Now if I's to change this life I lead, I'd be Johnny Tomato Seed. " : )

@boogertoots I feel pretty much the same way, but instead of tomatos it's weed!

this guy can write some song!

any major guy clark fans know why you can't find instant coffee blues performed by him anywhere...even when i saw him in concert in the 80s he didn't want to play it... i gotta believe there is some major reason behind it
