…this is 100% certifiable fiction…
so wrapped up in gardening
but it’s grabbed my heart
what’s a country boy to do
I just can’t escape the soil
my wife’s stopped vining
gardening’s got her heart too
brought her down to earth
she’s learned to leaf me alone
her tied up with tending ours

…inch by inch, row by row, John sings he’s gonna “grow his own”…
…John’s wife now helps tend their inch by inch, row by row…
