Buy and Buy

My preacher's name was Jack Daniels 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, babe, 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
