The real estate man came around today
Must have heard I was in town for granddad's estate
And he parked his Benz under that old birch tree
He said name your price man, I'll get you a deal
Not a word about grandad, not a word of that was real
I guess he figured those 40 acres didn't mean much to me
So I sat him down, and I set him straight
Don't show up in your suit tryna spend your money
Thinkin' you can buy whatever you're wantin'
There's memories here that can't be bought and sold
Don't show up and say that you got what I'm needin'
Don't want your money, so you'd best get to leavin'
You'll never get your hands on this home
Ohhh
This dirts worth its weight in gold
Come inside, I got some things to show ya
These frames on the walls they ain't just photos
Every picture here has got a story to tell
That little boy in the tractor, yeah, that's me
Helping Dad sow the paddock back in '93
We had our struggles, but that was one hell of a year
That one of grandad, plantin' that seed
Now it's that big ol' birch that you parked under neath
Hope you take a good look, you're drivin' on outta here
Yeah
Don't show up in your suit tryna spend your money
Thinkin' you can buy whatever your wantin'
There's memories here that can't be bought and sold
Don't show up and say that you got what I'm needing
Don't want your money so you best get to leavin'
You'll never get your hands on this home
Ohhh
This dirt's worth its weight in gold
Ohhh I grab a handful of dirt in my fist
Let it pour out on the ground around me
It's where I was born and this is
Where I'll be buried
Don't show up in your suit tryna spend your money
Thinkin' you can buy whatever your wantin'
There's memories here, that can't be bought and sold
Don't show up and say that you got what I'm needing
Don't want your money so you best get to leavin'
You'll never get your hands on this home
Ohhh
This dirt's worth its weight, in gold
Weight in gold
Yeah
Weight in gold
This dirt's worth its weight in gold
