Lyrics
13. Stacy’s Sandwich
I was down at Stacy’s bar and grill to have myself a sandwich / Tomato, cheese, and pickle; a little something on the side / I felt the crush of loneliness, paid it no mind / Would be gone by morning, back to the daily grind
I stumbled out to the misty night and whoa I saw her standing / I blinked my eyes; my heart stood still, so wild and free, exciting / It must have been her country smile; her eyes tore right through me / She told me of a better life and a garden with zucchini
Chorus: Have you ever planted pumpkins, have you ever planted corn?
Walked long straight rows in the July summer sun? / Love will come calling; give freedom a try / And grow yourself a garden through Mother Nature’s eyes
I was sure suspicious but a gal who is so real / To a lonely man late at night, has special appeal / So I listened to her story, strange as it may seem / She had a list of reasons to plant broccoli and beans Chorus
She touched my hand, kissed my cheek; I felt the ground moving / Country life and summer squash will make our lives feel groovy / So I said goodbye to my treadmill world; we live down by the river / Where our garden grows and kids can play outside forever Chorus
