Dirt Cheap lyrics

• Copyright: Cody Johnson

  ---

  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"
