The best BLT Sandwich

Nothing, and I mean nothing, compares to a summer homegrown tomato.
This year with all the rain we got the tomatoes are kind if watery and tastless.
One of my favorite foods of summer is the classic BLT.
I grow my own lettuce & tomatoes so it’s extra nice eating something I’ve grown myself.
There’s nothin’ in the world that I like better than
Bacon, lettuce and home grown tomatoes
Up in the morning and out in the garden
Pick you a ripe one, don’t get a hard ‘un
Plant ‘em in the springtime eat ‘em in the summer
All winter without ‘em’s a culinary bummer
I forget all about the sweatin’ and the diggin’
Every time I go out and pick me a big’un

{Refrain}
Home grown tomatoes, home grown tomatoes
What’d life be without home grown tomatoes
There’s only two things that money can’t buy
That’s true love and home grown tomatoes

You can go out and eat‘em, that’s for sure
But there’s nothin’ a home grown tomato won’t cure
You can put ‘em in a salad, put ‘em in a stew
You can make your own, very own tomato juice
You can eat ‘em with eggs, you can eat ‘em with gravy
You can eat ‘em with beans, pinto or navy
Put em on the side, put em on the middle
Home grown tomatoes on a hot cake griddle

If I could change this life I lead
You could call me Johnny Tomato Seed
I know what this country needs
It’s home grown tomatoes in every yard you see
When I die don’t bury me
In a box in a cold dark cemetery
Out in the garden would be much better
Where I could be pushin’ up home grown tomatoes
