[Verse 1] You said “It’s just dirt” I said “It’s the first step” Every tower Every small-town store Started with a line on a map Coffee on the contract Ink still shaking in my hand Funny how a few straight edges Can carve your own piece of the land [Chorus] I’m buying the ground I stand on Learning the rules as I go From fences and zoning To numbers I barely know But it feels like a door kicked open Like a future I can hold I’m buying the ground I stand on Turning that soil into gold (oh yeah) [Verse 2] He talks about acreage I’m thinking ’bout shade and sun Where the driveway hits the highway How the rain’s gonna run Location like a heartbeat Price like a dare in the air Is it worth what they’re asking? Can I grow a life out there? [Chorus] I’m buying the ground I stand on Learning the rules as I go From fences and zoning To numbers I barely know But it feels like a door kicked open Like a future I can hold I’m buying the ground I stand on Turning that soil into gold [Bridge] It’s risk and it’s courage It’s math and a little faith But someone owns every sunset Why can’t that be my name on the gate? (hey!) [Chorus] I’m buying the ground I stand on Learning the steps Getting brave From “what if” and “maybe” To “this is mine today” Yeah it feels like a door kicked open Like a story finally told I’m buying the ground I stand on Turning that soil into gold
