Karaoké Dirt Cheap 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

'Cos 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 over there under that white oak tree

Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried

Lasted thirteen huntin' seasons runnin' strong

Keep your money 'cos 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 white oak tree

Beneath the cross where my best buddy's buried

All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a jon boat

Me and him

A 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

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 white 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
