Buy Dirt - Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan (lyrics) A few days \u0027fore he turned eighty He was sitting out back in a rocker He said, \u0022What you been up to lately?\u0022 I told him, \u0022Chasing a dollar\u0022 And in between sips of coffee He poured this wisdom out Said, \u0022If you want my two cents on making a dollar count Buy dirt Find the one you can\u0027t 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 \u0027Cause the truth about it is It all goes by real quick You can\u0027t buy happiness But you can buy dirt\u0022 Before you get caught on that ladder Let me tell you what it\u0027s 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\u0027t 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 \u0027Cause the truth about it is It all goes by real quick You can\u0027t buy happiness But you can buy dirt You can buy dirt And thank the good Lord for it \u0027Cause He ain\u0027t makin\u0027 any more of it So buy dirt Find the one you can\u0027t 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 Watch their pencil marks And the grass in the yard All grow up \u0027Cause the truth about it is It all goes by real quick You can\u0027t buy happiness But you can buy dirt
