[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
Few days before he turned 80
B
He was sitting out back in a rocker
A
He said, what you been up to lately
I told him chasing a dollar
E
And in between sips of coffee
B
He poured this wisdom out
A
Said if you want my two cents on making a dollar count
[Chorus]
E
Buy dirt
B
Find the one you can’t live without
C#m
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
A
Do what you love but call it work
E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
C#m
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks
A
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
E B
‘Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
C#m A
You can’t buy happiness
E
But you can buy dirt
[Verse 2]
E
Before you get caught on that ladder
B E
Let me tell you what it’s all about
A
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out
[Chorus]
E
Buy dirt
B
Find the one you can’t live without
C#m
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
A
Do what you love but call it work
E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
C#m
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks
A
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
E B
‘Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
C#m A
You can’t buy happiness
C#m B
But you can buy dirt
A E
You can buy dirt
[Bridge]
B
And thank the good Lord for it
‘Cause He ain’t makin’ any more of it
[Chorus]
E
Buy dirt
B
Find the one you can’t live without
C#m
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
A
Do what you love but call it work
E
And throw a little money in the plate at church
B
Send some prayers up and your roots down deep
C#m
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencils marks
A
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
E B
‘Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
C#m A
You can’t buy happiness
E
But you can buy dirt
