Johnny Rappleseed

from Acoustic Bluegrass by Ari Lesser

lyrics

My name is Johnny Rappleseed, my garden is your mind
And everywhere I go leave a little love behind
The earth is my orchard the word is my crop
And wherever I wander, I let lyrics drop

My songs of hope grow strong and free
Branch out like limbs of an olive tree
My beak it speaks of peace like a dove
Reminding mankind of God’s great love
From coast to coast, border to border
Cleveland to Eugene, LA to Florida
The east to the west, the north to the south
I run all around while I run my mouth
I don’t need a stage I can do it on the street
Finding fertile ground in the hard concrete
Cause I don’t plant seeds, I plant CD’s
That make love and kindness grow like trees

My name is Johnny Rappleseed, my garden is your mind
And everywhere I go leave a little love behind
The earth is my orchard the word is my crop
Wherever I wander, I let lyrics drop

Got to keep moving I stay on the roam
And when I’m on the road it feels like home
Love to go a-wandering never stay on track
Val-deri, val-dera, knapsack on my back
Walk in the way that the wind is blowing
Flying from place to place like a Boeing
Touch down in each town I got a show in
Where I’ll be next there is no knowing
Drop CD’s every time I’m flowing
Then when I leave my songs keep going
Even if I die my trees still growing
Others will reap from the seeds I’m sowing

My Name is Johnny Rappleseed, my garden is your mind
And everywhere I go leave a little love behind
The earth is my orchard the word is my crop
Wherever I wander, I let lyrics drop

Everywhere I go my trees take root
Got food to eat each place they bear fruit
Limbs of love are my sheltering shade
Worth far more than the money I made
I give away songs all day like a gift
With pure positivity try to uplift
Each track, each verse, each line, each letter
I use my words to make the world better
Until our cities are greener than plants
Til enemies gather together and dance
Until each moment is like a first kiss
And the whole universe blossoms with bliss

My Name is Johnny Rappleseed, my garden is your mind
And everywhere I go leave a little love behind
The earth is my orchard the word is my crop
Wherever I wander, I let lyrics drop
