Buy Dirt
Jacob J. Davis, Jordan Davis, Josh Jenkins, Matt Jenkins
A few days 'fore he turned eighty
He was sitting out back in a rocker
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt"
Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around
And then he laid it out
Buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
And add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
You can buy dirt
And thank the good Lord for it
'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it
So buy dirt
Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
Watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard
All grow up
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt
A few days 'fore he turned eighty
Ein paar Tage bevor er achtzig wurde
He was sitting out back in a rocker
Saß er draußen in einem Schaukelstuhl
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
Er fragte: „Was hast du in letzter Zeit getrieben?“
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
Ich sagte ihm: „War auf der Jagd nach Geld“
And in between sips of coffee
Und zwischen den Schlucken Kaffee
He poured this wisdom out
Verkündete er diese Weisheit
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Er sagte: „Wenn du meine Meinung dazu hören willst, wie man Geld verdient
Buy dirt
Kauf Erde
Find the one you can't live without
Finde die, ohne die du nicht leben kannst
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Besorg einen Ring, lass dein Knie auf den Boden fallen
Do what you love but call it work
Tu, was du liebst, aber nenne es Arbeit
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Und wirf ein wenig Geld in die Kirchenkasse
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Schick deine Gebete nach oben und deine Wurzeln tief nach unten
Add a few limbs to your family tree
Füge deinem Stammbaum ein paar Äste hinzu
And watch their pencil marks
Und beobachte ihre Bleistiftmarkierungen
And the grass in the yard
Und das Gras im Garten
All grow up
Alles wächst heran
'Cause the truth about it is
Denn die Wahrheit darüber ist
It all goes by real quick
Es geht alles sehr schnell vorbei
You can't buy happiness
Glück kann man nicht kaufen
But you can buy dirt"
Aber du kannst Erde kaufen“
Before you get caught on that ladder
Bevor du auf der Leiter hängen bleibst
Let me tell you what it's all about
Lass mich dir sagen, worum es geht
Find you a few things that matter
Finde ein paar Dinge, die wichtig sind
That you can put a fence around
Um die man einen Zaun bauen kann
And then he laid it out
Und dann legte er es dar
Buy dirt
Kauf Erde
Find the one you can't live without
Finde die, ohne die du nicht leben kannst
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Besorg einen Ring, lass dein Knie auf den Boden fallen
Do what you love but call it work
Tu, was du liebst, aber nenne es Arbeit
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Und wirf ein wenig Geld in die Kirchenkasse
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Schick deine Gebete nach oben und deine Wurzeln tief nach unten
And add a few limbs to your family tree
Füge deinem Stammbaum ein paar Äste hinzu
And watch their pencil marks
Und beobachte ihre Bleistiftmarkierungen
And the grass in the yard
Und das Gras im Garten
All grow up
Alles wächst heran
'Cause the truth about it is
Denn die Wahrheit darüber ist
It all goes by real quick
Es geht alles sehr schnell vorbei
You can't buy happiness
Glück kann man nicht kaufen
But you can buy dirt
Aber du kannst Erde kaufen
You can buy dirt
Du kannst Erde kaufen
And thank the good Lord for it
Und danke dem lieben Gott dafür
'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it
Denn er macht nichts mehr davon
So buy dirt
Also kauf Erde
Find the one you can't live without
Finde die, ohne die du nicht leben kannst
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Besorg einen Ring, lass dein Knie auf den Boden fallen
Do what you love but call it work
Tu, was du liebst, aber nenne es Arbeit

A few days 'fore he turned eighty
Poucos dias antes dele completar oitenta
He was sitting out back in a rocker
Ele estava sentado em uma cadeira de balanço
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
Ele disse "o que você tem feito ultimamente?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
Eu disse a ele "perseguindo um dólar"
And in between sips of coffee
E entre goles de café
He poured this wisdom out
Ele serviu essa sabedoria
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Disse "se você quiser meus conselho em como fazer um dólar valer a pena
Buy dirt
Compre terra
Find the one you can't live without
Encontre aquela a qual você não pode viver sem
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Pegue um anel, deixe seu joelho tocar no chão
Do what you love but call it work
Faça o que você ama, mas chame isso de trabalho
And throw a little money in the plate at church
E jogar um pouquinho de dinheiro no prato da igreja
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Mande suas orações aos céus e plante suas raízes bem fundas
Add a few limbs to your family tree
Adicione alguns membros à sua árvore genealógica
And watch their pencil marks
E observe suas marcas de lápis
And the grass in the yard
E a grama no quintal
All grow up
Todos crescem
'Cause the truth about it is
Porque a verdade sobre isso é
It all goes by real quick
Tudo passa bem rápido
You can't buy happiness
Você não pode comprar felicidade
But you can buy dirt"
Mas você pode comprar terra"

Antes de ser pego nessa escada
Let me tell you what it's all about
Deixe-me contar a você sobre o que se trata
Find you a few things that matter
Encontre algumas coisas que importam
That you can put a fence around
Que você pode colocar uma cerca ao redor
And then he laid it out
E então ele explicou

A few days 'fore he turned eighty
Pochi giorni prima che compisse ottant'anni
He was sitting out back in a rocker
Era seduto sul retro su una sedia a dondolo
He said, "What you been up to lately?"
Disse: "Cosa combini ultimamente?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"
Gli risposi: "Vado a caccia di soldi"
And in between sips of coffee
E tra un sorso di caffè e l'altro
He poured this wisdom out
Ha riversato la sua saggezza
Said, "If you want my two cents on making a dollar count
Disse: "Se vuoi il mio consiglio su come far rendere i tuoi dollari
Buy dirt
Compra terra
Find the one you can't live without
Trova qualcuno senza il quale non puoi vivere
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Compra un anello, lascia che il tuo ginocchio tocchi il pavimento
Do what you love but call it work
Fai quello che ami ma chiamalo lavoro
And throw a little money in the plate at church
E metti un po' di soldi nel piatto in chiesa
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Manda le tue preghiere in alto e le tue radici in profondità
Add a few limbs to your family tree
Aggiungi qualche ramo al tuo albero genealogico
And watch their pencil marks
E guarda i segni delle loro matite
And the grass in the yard
E l'erba in giardino
All grow up
Tutti cresciuti
'Cause the truth about it is
Perché la verità è che
It all goes by real quick
Tutto passa molto velocemente
