I brought a dollar to the store today
Wanted to buy something new
I put the dollar in my front pocket
And brought it back home to you
'Cause I don't want to buy what I don't need
And I don't want to own what I can't keep
And if I'm gonna have to leave it all behind
Was it ever really mine
I made a dollar at my job today
I show up every week
I guess I really didn't make it
They gave it to me
'Cause I don't want to buy what I don't need
And I don't want to own what I can't keep
And if I'm gonna have to leave it all behind
Was it ever really mine
And I've got mansions waiting in the sky
Where the rivers run, but never run dry
There are highways of gold, room for this soul
I don't think Jesus would lie
I put a dollar in the mail today
I hope it gets there in time
They look so hungry on my tv
I hope they'll be alright
I hope they'll be alright
'Cause the store's full of things that I don't need
And the world's full of mouths that I can't feed
And if I'm gonna have to leave it all behind
Was it ever really mine?
And I don't want to buy what I don't need
And I don't want to own what I can't keep
And if I'm gonna have to leave it all behind
Was it ever really mine
Was it ever really mine
