Worth Its Weight In Gold
The real estate man came around today Must have heard I was in town For Grandads estate And he parked his Benz under the old birch tree He said, "Name your price, man I'll get you a deal" But not a word 'bout my grandad, not a word that was real I guess he figured those forty acres didn't mean much to me So I sat him down and set him straight Don't show up in your suit trying to spend your money Thinking you can buy whatever you're wantin' There's memories here that can't be bought and sold Don't show up and say that you've got what I'm needing Don't want your money so you best get to leaving You'll never get your hands on this home This dirt's worth its weight in gold Come inside I got somethings to show you These frames on the wall, they ain't just photos Every picture here's got a story to tell That little boy on the tractor, yeh that's me Helping dad sow the paddock back in '93 Letras de cancionesWe had our struggles but that was one hell of a year That one of grandad planting that seed Now it's that big, old birch that you parked underneath I hope you take a good look when you're driving on out of here So Don't show up in your suit trying to spend your money Thinking you can buy whatever you're wantin' There's memories here that can't be bought and sold Don't show up and say that you've got what I'm needing Don't want your money so you best get to leaving You'll never get your hands on this home This dirt's worth its weight in gold I grab a handful dirt in my fist Let it pour out on the ground around me It's where I was born and this is Where I'll be buried So Don't show up trying to spend your money Thinking you can buy whatever you're wantin' There's memories here that can't be bought and sold Don't show up and say that you've got what I'm needing Don't want your money so you best get to leaving You'll never get your hands on this home This dirt's worth its weight in gold Weight in gold Yeah! Weight in gold This dirt's worth its weight in gold From Letras Mania
