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

William Butler Yeats in jeans Got up to play guitar and sing In some joint in Mission Beach last night At the door sat Tom Waits In a pork pie hat and silver skates Jugglin' three collection plates Jesus Christ Townes Van Zandt standin' at the bar Skinnin' a Hollywood movie star Can't remember where he parked his car Or to whom he lost the keys Full of angst and hillbilly haiku What's a poor Ft. Worth boy to do Go on rhyme somethin' for em' man Show him how you really feel Chorus Ain't no money in poetry That's what sets the poet free I've had all the freedom I can stand Cold dog soup and rainbow pie Is all it takes to get me by Fool my belly till the day I die Cold dog soup and rainbow pie Ginsberg and Kerouac Shootin' dice and playin' Ramblin' Jack's guitar With the cowboy paintin' pickguard on it And they sat in the back and drank for free And rhymed orange with Rosalie Now there's a pride of lions to draw to CD available for purchase at: www.amazon.com

If you want to buy this song or album: amzn.to Guy Clark & Verlon Thompson: "The Guitar" from his album "someday the song writes you". This song reveals in my opinion the wonder of the blues and the secret of Eric Clapton: "I get seriously attached to an instrument," says Clapton. "A guitar like Blackie comes along maybe once in a lifetime. I played it for 12 years non-stop on the road, and it's still got it. The action is perfect even though the neck is quite worn down and narrow. All you've got to do is pick it up and it sort of plays itself. I developed a lot of trust and security with that instrument." (Eric Clapton) Full story by Manhattan Guitar Center (c) (2010): bit.ly Lyrics: Well, I was passing by a pawn shop In an older part of town Something caught my eye And I stopped and turned around I stepped inside and there I spied In the middle of it all Was a beat up old guitar Hanging on the wall. What do you want for that piece of junk I asked the old man He just smiled and took it down and he put it in my hand He said you tell me what it's worth You're the one who wants it Turn it up, play a song And let's just see what haunts it So I hit a couple of cords In my old country way of strumming And then my fingers turned to lightning Man.. I never heard it coming It was like I always knew it I just don't know where I learned it It wasn't nothin' but the truth So I just reared back and burned it Well I lost all track of time There was nothing I couldn't pick Up and down <b>...</b>

Among music cognoscenti, GUY CLARK is about as highly regarded as an artist can be. In their search for intelligent, poetic hit records, some incredible singers have tracked down and covered his songs including Johnny Cash, Ricky Skaggs, Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris, Jimmy Buffet, Brad Paisley, The Highwaymen, Bobby Bare, Lyle Lovett and Charley Pride. His 1971 song, LA Freeway, was a big cut for Jerry Jeff Walker and helped define the so-called Outlaw Movement. 37 years later, his song Hollywood - recorded here for the first time - feels like the long-awaited thematic sequel.

"The Last Gunfighter Ballad" written by Guy Clark. Recorded by Guy Clark and Waylon jennings (providing vocal harmony) on Guy Clarks 1996 album "Texas Cookon' and 1997's "The Essential Guy Clark"...lyrics... Now the old gunfighter on the porch stared into the sun And relived the days of livin' by the gun When deadly games of pride were played Livin' was mistakes not made And the thought of the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke Ah, the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke And he can almost feel the weight of the gun And as always, keep your back to the sun And it's faster than snakes or the blink of an eye It's a time for all slow men to die And his eyes get squinty and his fingers twitch And he empties his gun at the son of a bitch And he's hit with the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke Hit with the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke And the burn of bullets is only a scar And he's back in his chair in front of the bar And the streets are empty and the blood's all dried And the dead are dust and the whiskey's inside So buy him a drink, lend him an ear He's nobody's fool and the only one here Who remembers the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke Remember the smell of the black powder smoke And the stand in the street at the turn of a joke He <b>...</b>

Great song ... a 'leap of faith' just might make the difference Eight years old with flour sack cape Tied all around his neck He climbed up on the garage Figurin' what the heck He screwed his courage up so tight The whole thing come unwound He got a runnin' start and bless his heart He headed for the ground Chorus He's one of those who knows that life Is just a leap of faith Spread your arms and hold you breath Always trust your cape All grown up with a flour sack cape Tied all around his dream He's full of piss and vinegar He's bustin' at the seams He licked his finger and checked the wind It's gonna be do or die He wasn't scared of nothin', Boys He was pretty sure he could fly Chorus Old and grey with a flour sack cape Tied all around his head He's still jumpin' off the garage And will be till he's dead All these years the people said He's actin' like a kid He did not know he could not fly So he did
