Buy and Buy

My preacher's name was Jack Daniels
 Told me about what heaven is like
 Said, "If the road to there ain't rocky
 Son, ya must not be doing it right"
 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
 Buy and buy
 We buy and buy
 Ain't nobody buying time
 We spend our lives
 Dollars and dimes
 But ain't nobody buying time
 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
 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
 Oh, buy and buy
 We buy and buy
 Ain't nobody buying time
 We spend our lives
 Dollars and dimes
 But ain't nobody buying time
 I broke my pockets, I break my body
 I broke some hearts along the way
 I can't rewind, no, there's no vacation
 No where to save me from this pain
 Oh, buy and buy
 We buy and buy
 But ain't nobody buying time
 We spend our lives
 Dollars and dimes
 But ain't nobody buying time
 And I would cling to the old rugged cross
 Till my trophies at last I lay down
 And I would cling to the old rugged cross
 And exchange 'em some day for a crown
