This Friday’s song is “Buy Dirt” performed by Jordon Davis and Luke Bryan. This 2021 release is a great reminder that life is short and our focus should always be on the simple things that make life worth living. Davis and Bryan play off each other well and the beat pulls you into the song.
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
Songwriters: Matt Jenkins / Jordan Davis / Joshua Cole Jenkins / Jacob J. Davis

I picked two versions to share. Both are solid performances by this duo. The first is the official music video and the second is an acoustic version which really demonstrates Jordon’s range and talent.
Hope you enjoy “Buy Dirt”!
