- Jordan Davis Buy Dirt 歌词
- Luke Bryan Jordan Davis
- Few days before he turned 80
他八十岁生日前不久
He was sitting out back in a rocker
一天坐在午后的摇椅
He said, what you been up to lately
他向我问起我的近况
I told him chasing a dollar
我说我正在赚点小钱
And in between sips of coffee
在他喝着咖啡的间隙
He poured this wisdom out
向我倾倒了他的智慧
Said if you want my two cents on making a dollar count
他说 如果你想在谋财之路上听取一点我的建议
那就买些泥土
Buy dirt
找到你生命里不可缺少的唯一
Find the one you can't live without
给她买枚戒指 向她单膝跪地
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
做你所爱的事情 将它变成你的职业
Do what you love but call it work
每个礼拜在教堂的盘里留下一点零钱
And throw a little money in the plate at church
记得时常向天祈祷 把你的根深深扎进地里
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
在你的族谱之树上添几根枝条
Add a few limbs to your family tree
看着你孩子铅笔的涂鸦
And watch their pencils marks
还有门口院里的青草
And the grass in the yard
逐渐长大
All grow up
因为这一切都逃不过这个道理
'Cause the truth about it is
这些事情发生实在是快
It all goes by real quick
你花钱买不来幸福
You can't buy happiness
但好在能买点泥土
But you can buy dirt
在你攀登生活的梯子前
让我来告诉你其中的道理
Before you get caught on that ladder
你需要找到对你真正有意义的事情
Let me tell you what it's all about
用围栏将他们保护周全
Find you a few things that matter
接着他对我说啊
That you can put a fence around
你得买些泥土
And then he laid it out
找到你生命里不可缺少的唯一
给她买枚戒指 向她单膝跪地
Buy dirt
做你所爱的事情 将它变成你的职业
Find the one you can't live without
每个礼拜在教堂的盘里留下一点零钱
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
记得时常向天祈祷 把你的根深深扎进地里
Do what you love but call it work
在你的族谱之树上添几根枝条
And throw a little money in the plate at church
看着你孩子铅笔的涂鸦
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
还有门口院里的青草
And add a few limbs to your family tree
逐渐长大
And watch their pencils marks
因为这一切都逃不过这个道理
And the grass in the yard
这些事情发生实在是快
All grow up
你花钱买不来幸福
'Cause the truth about it is
但好在能买点泥土
It all goes by real quick
你还能买点泥土
You can't buy happiness
你得感谢上天的赐予
But you can buy dirt
因为天也不会无穷无尽地给予
不妨买点泥土
You can buy dirt
找到你生命里不可缺少的唯一
给她买枚戒指 向她单膝跪地
And thank the good Lord for it
做你所爱的事情 将它变成你的职业
'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it
每个礼拜在教堂的盘里留下一点零钱
记得时常向天祈祷 把你的根深深扎进地里
So buy dirt
在你的族谱之树上添几根枝条
Find the one you can't live without
看着你孩子铅笔的涂鸦
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
还有门口院里的青草
Do what you love but call it work
逐渐长大
And throw a little money in the plate at church
因为这一切都逃不过这个道理
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
这些事情发生实在是快
Add a few limbs to your family tree
你花钱买不来幸福
Watch their pencils marks
但好在能买点泥土
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
