Buy Dirt - Acoustic

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 some 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
 And 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 some 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
 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 some 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
 You can buy dirt (yes sir)
 You can buy dirt (oh yeah)
 You can buy dirt
