Buy & Buy

There are some days and some moments that will forever leave a mark on your life.  This is one of those moments - being the moment I first heard this song by Ross Ells.  It a song, a story, an emotion, a moment, a changing.  This song is so powerful.  Listen to it. read it.  It will change you if you are open to the idea of there being more to life than materialistic things.   There is so much more!!! 

My preacher's name was Jack Daniel's

Told me about what heaven is like

Said, "If the road to there ain't rocky

Son, ya must not be doing it right"

I threw my pills out the upstairs window

Drove to the beach to clear my mind

I watched those waves crash to rock bottom

Felt kinda light, this life of mine

Buy and buy

We buy and buy

Ain't nobody buying time

We spend our lives

Dollars and dimes

But ain't nobody buying time

My daddy said, "Son, better take vacation

Even if your money all ran out"

Now me and daddy don't talk much no more

But, damn, I sure need him right now

You put my name up in your journal

You re-erased and tore out that page

But that's alright, baby, we'll meet in heaven

But only God knows that day

Oh, buy and buy

We buy and buy

Ain't nobody buying time

We spend our lives

Dollars and dimes

But ain't nobody buying time

I broke my pockets, I break my body

I broke some hearts along the way

I can't rewind, no, there's no vacation

No where to save me from this pain

Oh, buy and buy

We buy and buy

But ain't nobody buying time

We spend our lives

Dollars and dimes

But ain't nobody buying time

And I would cling to the old rugged cross

Till my trophies at last I lay down

And I would cling to the old rugged cross

And exchange 'em some day for a crown
