Vegetable Garden - Original song for all the gardeners out there

Vegetable Garden

This is an original song I wrote, and I am singing the vocals on it.

copyright 2007 on song, 2009 on video

Verse 1

I'm a Southern girl with New South ways
But I come from farming roots
I may work in the office all day
But I still wear cowboy boots

Sometimes the stress it gets to me
And life can be so hard
That's when I find some therapy
In a plot in my backyard

Chorus:

I got a vegetable garden
A vegetable garden
I got peas and butter beans
Tomato plants and collard greens
I got squash and peppers too
Ain't no plant that I can't do
In my vegetable garden

Verse 2

Boss keeps breathing down my neck
I can't wait to get away
To a slice of heaven near my deck
Where the squash and the watermelons play

My tomatoes are red and pretty
And my peppers will knock you out
I love getting my hands dirty
I just wanna scream and shout

Oh Janet, I just love this song. I've been living in a 3rd floor apartment and boy do I miss digging in the dirt. Some of my best memories are from the garden. Walking out the back door and picking beans, pulling carrots and parsnips from the earth....Now what I wouln't give for that.
