Cody Johnson - Dirt Cheap lyrics
[Cody Johnson - Dirt Cheap lyrics]
They came in thinkin' top dollar
To that old cotton crop farmer
They knocked on his screen door and he said
"Lord, what you need, boys?" And they said
"You know all the others went and cashed out
We got the subdivision all mapped out
It'll sit right here on this land
And you can leave town a rich man"
And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin'
It won't be enough
'Cause, I got a little girl that
Used to swing right there
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
She's in the big city
But she still calls home
What's she gonna do if she
Comes back and we're gone?
And ovеr there, under that widе oak tree
Beneath the cross is where
My best buddy's buried
Lasted thirteen huntin' seasons
Runnin' strong keep your money 'cause a man
Can't leave his dog
And over there is where I
Got down on one knee
You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
One man smiled and he kinda looked away
The other said, "Before we go
I gotta know one thing
Between the droughts and the floods
Through all the years
What in the world got you through?
How the hell'd you get here?" And he said
"That little girl that used
To swing right there
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
Runnin' up after one of them long days
A big smile makin' every little worry fade
And over there, under that wide oak tree
Beneath the cross
Where my best buddy's buried
All them huntin' seasons freezin'
In a jon boat
Me and him, double barrel and a two-stroke
And that woman that said 'yes' when
I got down on one knee
Yeah, you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap
No, it ain't somethin' you fall into
It's somethin' God gives you
And you hold on to
Just like that little girl who
Used to swing right there
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
She's in the big city now
But she still calls home
She's comin' back next week and, man
It's been too long
And over there, under that wide oak tree
Beside the cross
Where my best buddy's buried
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade
That woman never could turn away a stray
I guess that's why she said 'yes' when
I got down on one knee
Oh, long as all this is here
Why the hell would I ever leave?
You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
To that old cotton crop farmer
