"Can't Buy Time" lyrics

"Can't Buy Time"

Ain't nothin' wrong with a hard day's pay
Gettin' dirt on your hands, puttin' dollars in the bank
You can stack it on up 'til it hits the sky
But it won't slow down that clock tickin' by

So, hold your babies good and tight
Call your mama, kiss your wife
Wake up and do it all again
And send up a "Thank you, Lord"
Watch the sunset 'til it's gone
Drink a cold beer, sing a song
Work until the work is done
But not a second more
'Cause making a living don't make a life
You can spend that money, but you can't buy time

I'll take casting lines over overtime
And front-porch coffee over drive-through lines
It's the one thing you can't put a price tag on
And you won't get more scrolling through that phone

So, hold your babies good and tight
Call your mama, kiss your wife
Wake up and do it all again
And send up a "Thank you, Lord"
Watch the sunset 'til it's gone
Drink a cold beer, sing a song
Work until the work is done
But not a second more
'Cause making a living don't make a life
You can spend that money, but you can't buy time

The more you're here, the less you got
And a big ol' pile of cash won't make it stop

So, hold your babies good and tight
Call your mama, kiss your wife
'Cause that's the kind of good stuff you can't pick up at a store
Watch the sunset 'til it's gone
Drink a cold beer, sing a song
Work until the work is done
But not a second more
'Cause making a living don't make a life
You can spend that money, but you can't buy time

You can spend that money, but you can't buy time
