Tomato Lyrics by Dave Marx

Nostalgic Summer

2020

102 BPM - Ab Major

Verse 1:
Go get a job
Look out for the family
All your ideas
Just disappear (You’re stuck right here)

You got a plan
But you’re misunderstanding
What it’ll take
To make it in just two years

Chorus:
Cuz I’ve been growing my tomatoes
Watering my orange tree
And when I harvest them I’ll share them
With every house on the street

I’ve been afraid of what I’m made of
Cuz I don’t watch what I eat
But if you keep up the faith for one more day
I’ll grow the garden of your dreams

Verse 2:
You got a nice house
But where’s all your money?
Did you sell low
And give into your fear?

The pepper plants that were doing well in the colored pots
All started dying
I’ll be right here
To try again next year

Chorus:
Cuz I’ve been growing my tomatoes
Watering my orange tree
And when I harvest them I’ll share them
With every house on the street

I’ve been too scared of what I’m made of
Cuz I don’t watch what I eat
But if you keep up the faith for one more day
I’ll grow the garden of your dreams

Bridge:
Both forgot the potted lemon tree we started with
Focusing on things stuck in the ground
I wish I learned all this 20 years ago
Second best time is always now

Chorus:
So I’ve been growing my tomatoes
Watering my orange tree
And when I harvest them I’ll share them
With every house on the street

I’ve been too scared of what I’m made of
Cuz I don’t watch what I eat
But if you keep up the faith for one more day
I’ll grow the garden of your dreams
