0:06Few days before he turned 80
0:08He was sitting out back in a rocker
0:11He said what you been up to lately
0:14Said chasing a dollar
0:17And in between sips of coffee
0:19He poured this wisdom out
0:22Said if you want my two cents on making a dollar count
0:26Buy dirt
0:28Find the one you can't live without
0:31Get a ring let your knee hit the ground
0:33Do what you love but call it work
0:36And throw a little money in the plate at church
0:39Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
0:41Add a few limbs to your family tree
0:44And watch their pencils marks
0:46And the grass in the yard
0:47All grow up
0:49'Cause the truth about it is
0:52It all goes by real quick
0:54You can't buy happiness
0:58But you can buy dirt
1:05Before you get caught on that ladder
1:08Let me tell you what it's all about
1:10Find you a few things that matter
1:13That you can put a fence around
1:16And then he laid it out
1:18Buy dirt
1:19Find the one you can't live without
1:22Get a ring let your knee hit the ground
1:25Do what you love but call it work
1:27And throw a little money in the plate at church
1:30Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
1:32Add a few limbs to your family tree
1:35And watch their pencils marks
1:37And the grass in the yard
1:38All grow up
1:40'Cause the truth about it is
1:43It all goes by real quick
1:46You can't buy happiness
1:50But you can buy dirt
1:55But you can buy dirt
2:02Thank the good Lord for it
2:04'Cause he ain't makin' any more of it
2:06So buy dirt
2:08Find the one you can't live without
2:10Get a ring let your knee hit the ground
2:13Do what you love but call it work
2:16And throw a little money in the plate at church
2:18Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
2:21Add a few limbs to your family tree
2:24Watch their pencils marks
2:25And the grass in the yard
2:27All grow up
2:29'Cause the truth about it is
2:32It all goes by real quick
2:34You can't buy happiness
2:38But you can buy dirt
