Something money cant buy

Sat down with this old man
Told him about all of my plans
Said I'm sick of this job
Sick of having no dang time

He said, son, I've been there
Don't get caught up cause life ain't fair
Lost my wife to cancer last year
Keep your head up, it won't be like this long

Cause life's too short, don't let it slip by
You're chasing years and dollar signs
One day you'll look back and see
That you've already got what you need
And between the lines you're here and gone
One day you'll hang your hat on
Clocking in every day
Before you know it, it'll be too late, yeah
And all that money might seem real nice
But, son, you've got something money can't buy

See, me and my wife tried for years
Had no luck, cried a lot of tears
Had good jobs and memories
Now she's walking them gold streets
And a lot of nights I cried myself to sleep
And I guess he had better plans for her than me

Cause life's too short, don't let it slip by
You're chasing years and dollar signs
One day you'll look back and see
That you've already got what you need
And between the lines you're here and gone
One day you'll hang your hat on
Clocking in every day
Before you know it, it'll be too late, yeah
And all that money might seem real nice
But, son, you've got something money can't buy

Cause life's too short, don't let it slip by
You're chasing years and dollar signs
One day you'll look back and see
That you've already got what you need
And between the lines you're here and gone
One day you'll hang your hat on
Clocking in every day
Before you know it, it'll be too late, yeah
And all that money might seem real nice
Yeah, all that money might seem real nice

But, son, you've got something
Boy, you've got something
Son, you've got something money can't buy
Something money can't buy

Something money can't buy
