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 thta 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 tryin' to spend your money

Thinkin' 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 needin'

Don't want your money so you best get to leavin'

You'll never get your hands on this home

Oh-oh, This dirt's worth its weight in gold

Yeah, 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, yeah that's me

Helpin' dad sow the paddock back in '93

We 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

Hope you take a good look when you're driving on out of here, yeah

So don't show up in your suit tryin' to spend your money

Thinkin' 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 needin'

Don't want your money so you best get to leavin'

You'll never get your hands on this home

Oh-oh, this dirt's worth its weight in gold

Oh, 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 tryin' to spend your money

Thinkin' 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 needin'

Don't want your money so you best get to leavin'

You'll never get your hands on this home
