- 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
Buy dirt
那就买些泥土
Find the one you can't live without
找到你生命里不可缺少的唯一
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
给她买枚戒指 向她单膝跪地
Do what you love but call it work
做你所爱的事情 将它变成你的职业
And throw a little money in the plate at church
每个礼拜在教堂的盘里留下一点零钱
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
记得时常向天祈祷 把你的根深深扎进地里
Add a few limbs to your family tree
在你的族谱之树上添几根枝条
And watch their pencils marks
看着你孩子铅笔的涂鸦
And the grass in the yard
还有门口院里的青草
All grow up
逐渐长大
'Cause the truth about it is
因为这一切都逃不过这个道理
It all goes by real quick
这些事情发生实在是快
You can't buy happiness
你花钱买不来幸福
But you can buy dirt
但好在能买点泥土
Before you get caught on that ladder
在你攀登生活的梯子前
Let me tell you what it's all about
让我来告诉你其中的道理
Find you a few things that matter
你需要找到对你真正有意义的事情
That you can put a fence around
用围栏将他们保护周全
And then he laid it out
接着他对我说啊
Buy dirt
你得买些泥土
Find the one you can't live without
找到你生命里不可缺少的唯一
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
给她买枚戒指 向她单膝跪地
Do what you love but call it work
做你所爱的事情 将它变成你的职业
And throw a little money in the plate at church
每个礼拜在教堂的盘里留下一点零钱
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
记得时常向天祈祷 把你的根深深扎进地里
And add a few limbs to your family tree

And watch their pencils marks

And the grass in the yard
还有门口院里的青草
