Buy Dirt Lyrics

A few days before he turned 80

He was sittin' out back in a rocker

He said, "What you been up to lately?"

I told him, "Chasing a dollar"

And in between sips of coffee

He poured this wisdom out

Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count

Buy dirt

Find the one you can't live without

Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground

Do what you love but call it work

And throw a little money in the plate at church

Send your prayers up and your roots down deep

Add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencil marks

And the grass in the yard all grow up"

'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick

You can't buy happiness

But you can buy dirt

Before you get caught on that ladder

Let me tell you what it's all about

Find you a few things that matter

That you can put a fence around

And then he laid it out

Buy dirt

Find the one you can't live without

Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground

Do what you love but call it work

And throw a little money in the plate at church

Send your prayers up and your roots down deep

And add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencil marks

And the grass in the yard all grow up

'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick

You can't buy happiness

But you can buy dirt

You can buy dirt

And thank the good Lord for it

'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it

So buy dirt

Find the one you can't live without

Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground

Do what you love but call it work

And throw a little money in the plate at church

Send your prayers up and your roots down deep

Add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencil marks

And the grass in the yard all grow up

'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick

You can't buy happiness

But you can buy dirt

Can't stop listening to this song. Country music has not been this good since the 90's. Love this and love these guys!

If we would just live life like this song we'd all be alot happier.  Those material things in life mean nothing in life. 

In the end its what you pass on to others and how you treated people that makes you who you are. Peace out

As a black guy I'm slowly getting into country and this song definitely makes it into my daily playlist for country
