Verse 1:
E
Few days before he turned 80

He was sitting out back in a rocker
A
He said "what you been up to lately?"

I told him chasin' dollar

And in between sips of coffee

Chorus:
      E
Buy dirt
                                B
Find the one you can't live without

Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
                              A

Send your prayers up and your roots down deep

Add a few limbs to your family tree

Watch their pencils marks, and the grass in the yard

All grow up
E
'Cause the truth about it is

It all goes by real quick

But you can buy dirt

Before you get caught on that ladder
