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