Planting Tomatoes

Planting tomatoes in the empty lot

Someone practicing saxophone down the block

They are not good yet

They are not good yet

Picking flowers off the shoulder of the road

18-wheelers rushing by a little too close

Life is just a series of close calls

One day one will come to end them all

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

Coming together in a circle of hands

Gently pressing palms when the prayer ends

We all say, "Amen"

Say, "Amen"

Subtle pixelation of the world through the screened-in porch

I could sit here for hours

You've gotta live the life you're fighting for

You've gotta live a life you would die for

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

Hearing my friends laughing in the distance

I can't help but laugh along without knowing what the joke is

Can't help thinking that I am gonna miss this

Living in the moment, I can feel the moment passing

Now I'm older than you'll ever be

On a day you will never see

There is so much that I have not lost

Someday I know I will pay the cost

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas
