The Best Things Are Free

V3.5

[Verse] Out in the fields where the wildflowers grow, Grandpa once told me, "Son, there’s much you don’t know." Under the sun with that ol' fishing rod, He looked in my eyes and gave me a nod. [Verse 2] "Life’s full of twists and turns, so listen, my friend, The road may get rocky, but the good times won't end." His words were like music, like a summer breeze, They danced through the air and put my mind at ease. [Chorus] The best advice is free and it’s easy to see, Like a melody playing in a sweet minor key. You can't put a price on wisdom that stays, It’ll guide you through all of your winding days. [Verse 3] Mama once told me 'bout hard work and love, "Look after your family, give thanks up above." While baking that cornbread, she hummed a sweet tune, Passed down from her mama ‘neath the same ol' moon. [Bridge] In this world of glitter and shiny new toys, Remember those stories from when you were boys. For all that glitters ain't always gold, The best things are treasured and can't be sold. [Verse 4] So when you’re lost and you’re feeling alone, Just think of those lessons from way back at home. No dollar can buy what’s been handed down, In the heart of the country, in the heart of your town.
