- Jordan Davis Buy Dirt 歌詞
- Luke Bryan Jordan Davis
- Few days before he turned 80
他八十歲生日前不久
He was sitting out back in a rocker
一天坐在午後的搖椅
He said, what you been up to lately
他向我問起我的近況
I told him chasing a dollar
我說我正在賺點小錢
And in between sips of coffee
在他喝著咖啡的間隙
He poured this wisdom out
向我傾倒了他的智慧
Said if you want my two cents on making a dollar count
他說如果你想在謀財之路上聽取一點我的建議
Buy dirt
那就買些泥土
Find the one you cant live without
找到你生命裡不可缺少的唯一
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
給她買枚戒指向她單膝跪地
Do what you love but call it work
做你所愛的事情將它變成你的職業
And throw a little money in the plate at church
每個禮拜在教堂的盤裡留下一點零錢
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
記得時常向天祈禱把你的根深深扎進地裡
Add a few limbs to your family tree
在你的族譜之樹上添幾根枝條
And watch their pencils marks
看著你孩子鉛筆的塗鴉
And the grass in the yard
還有門口院裡的青草
All grow up
逐漸長大
Cause the truth about it is
因為這一切都逃不過這個道理
It all goes by real quick
這些事情發生實在是快
You cant buy happiness
你花錢買不來幸福
But you can buy dirt
但好在能買點泥土
Before you get caught on that ladder
在你攀登生活的梯子前
Let me tell you what its all about
讓我來告訴你其中的道理
Find you a few things that matter
你需要找到對你真正有意義的事情
That you can put a fence around
用圍欄將他們保護周全
And then he laid it out
接著他對我說啊
Buy dirt
你得買些泥土
Find the one you cant live without
找到你生命裡不可缺少的唯一
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
給她買枚戒指向她單膝跪地
Do what you love but call it work
做你所愛的事情將它變成你的職業
And throw a little money in the plate at church
每個禮拜在教堂的盤裡留下一點零錢
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
記得時常向天祈禱把你的根深深扎進地裡
And add a few limbs to your family tree
在你的族譜之樹上添幾根枝條
And watch their pencils marks
看著你孩子鉛筆的塗鴉
And the grass in the yard
還有門口院裡的青草
All grow up
逐漸長大
Cause the truth about it is
因為這一切都逃不過這個道理
It all goes by real quick
這些事情發生實在是快
You cant buy happiness
你花錢買不來幸福
But you can buy dirt
但好在能買點泥土
You can buy dirt
你還能買點泥土
And thank the good Lord for it
你得感謝上天的賜予
Cause He aint makin any more of it
因為天也不會無窮無盡地給予
So buy dirt
不妨買點泥土
Find the one you cant live without
找到你生命裡不可缺少的唯一
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
給她買枚戒指向她單膝跪地
Do what you love but call it work
做你所愛的事情將它變成你的職業
And throw a little money in the plate at church
每個禮拜在教堂的盤裡留下一點零錢
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
記得時常向天祈禱把你的根深深扎進地裡
Add a few limbs to your family tree
在你的族譜之樹上添幾根枝條
Watch their pencils marks

And the grass in the yard
還有門口院裡的青草

因為這一切都逃不過這個道理
It all goes by real quick
這些事情發生實在是快
You cant buy happiness
你花錢買不來幸福
But you can buy dirt
但好在能買點泥土
