ntro: 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm A You can't buy happiness Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm 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 Dbm A You can't buy happiness E But you can buy dirt
