I'm Not for Everyone

Here's a song about me. ;)

Some people clap on the one and three
Some people clap on the two and four
Some people don't join at all
'Cause they got no rhythm
And that's alright

Some people, they drink too much
Some people don't drink enough
Some people are just like me
I hope y'all forgive 'em

I'm like scotch and zydeco bands
I'm like B-side Townes Van Zandt
I'm always speaking my mind
When I'm better off biting my tongue
I'm a bad joke at the wrong time
Hell, I'm a legend in my own mind
I'm good for some but I'm not for everyone

If I was sweet tea, it'd be a bit bitter
If you took a drink, you might reconsider
If I was a church, I'd be hanging with the sinners
Talking 'bout Hendrix and Heaven

If I was a bar, I'd be a dive
A free jukebox in a double-wide
Neon lights saying "Come inside"
And I'd be "Open 24/7"

Yeah, I'm hard to love, it's true
I'm a little more rough than smooth
It's a wonder I found somebody like me, like you

Buy Dirt

A few days before he turned 80

He was sittin' out back in a rocker.

He said, "What you been up to lately?"
I told him, "Chasing a dollar"

And in between sips of coffee
He poured this wisdom out
Said, "If you want my two cents

on making a dollar count

Buy dirt

Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
Add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up

'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness
But you can buy dirt.

Before you get caught on that ladder
Let me tell you what it's all about
Find you a few things that matter
That you can put a fence around

And then he laid it out
Buy dirt

Find the one you can't live without
Get a ring, let your knee hit the ground
Do what you love but call it work
And throw a little money in the plate at church
Send your prayers up and your roots down deep
And add a few limbs to your family tree
And watch their pencil marks
And the grass in the yard all grow up
'Cause the truth about it is
It all goes by real quick
You can't buy happiness

But you can buy dirt

You can buy dirt

And thank the good Lord for it
'Cause He ain't makin' any more of it

So buy dirt

But you can buy dirt.”
