Bilingual
Few days before he turned 80
He was sitting out back in a rocker
Said, "What you been up to lately?"
Said, "Chasing a dollar"
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
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 those 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
You can put a fence around
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
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 those 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
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
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 those 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
