Ross Ellis Buy and Buy Lyrics
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, you 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, none, 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 will cling to the old rugged cross
Til my trophies at last I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange ’em some day for a crown
Remember to “share” this with other Country Music fans.
