Jordan Davis - Buy Dirt Lyrics 

 A few days before he turned 80

He was sitting 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 pencils 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 pencils 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

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

Watch their pencils 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
