Lucy Dacus Planting Tomatoes
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But before then, I've got some ideas
But before then, I've got some ideas
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
But before then, I've got some ideas
But before then, I've got some ideas
[Verse 3]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
