Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 doin' it right
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Buy and buy, we buy and buy
Ain't nobody buyin' time
We spend our lives, dollars and dimes
But ain't nobody buyin' time
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Oh, buy and buy, we buy and buy
Ain't nobody buyin' time
We spend our lives, dollars and dimes
But ain't nobody buyin' time
[Verse 7]
I broke my pockets, I break my body
I broke some hearts along the way
I can't rewind, no, there's no vacation
Nowhere to save me form this pain
[Verse 8]
Oh, buy and buy, we buy and buy
But ain't nobody buyin' time
We spend our lives, dollars and dimes
But ain't nobody buyin' time
[Verse 9]
And I would cling to the old rugged cross
Till my trophies, at last, I lay down
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange 'em some say for a crown
