letra de worth its weight in gold - james johnston

[verse 1]
the real estate man came around today
must have heard i was in town for grandad’s estate
and he parked his benz under the old birch tree
he said, “name your price, man, l’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

[chorus]
don’t show up in your suit tryna spend your money
thinking 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 needing
don’t want your money so you best get to leaving
you’ll never get your hands on this home
oh, this dirt’s worth its weight in gold

[verse 2]
yeah, come inside i got something’s to show you
these frames on the walls, they ain’t just photos
every picture here’s got a story to tell
that little boy on the tractor, yeah, that’s me
helping dad sow the paddock back in ’93
we had our struggles but that was one h-ll 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
[chorus]
so don’t show up in your suit tryna spend your money
thinking you can buy whatever you’re wantin’
there’s memories here that can’t be bought and sold
yeah, don’t show up and say that you’ve got what i’m needing
don’t want your money so you best get to leaving
you’ll never get your hands on this home
woah, this dirt’s worth its weight in gold

[bridge]
oh, i grab a handful of dirt in my fist
let it pour out on the ground around me
it’s where i was born and this is
where i’ii be buried

[chorus]
so don’t show up tryna spend your money
thinking 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 needing
don’t want your money so you best get to leaving
you’ll never get your hands on this home
woah, this dirt’s worth its weight in gold
weight in gold, yeah
weight in gold
this dirt’s worth its weight in gold
