DIRT CHEAP
CODY JOHNSON
CAPO: 1st FRET
Intro
Verse
They came in thinkin' top dollar
To that old cotton crop farmer
They knocked on his screen door and he said
"Lord, what you n
eed, boys?" And they said
"Y
ou know all the others went and cashed out
They got the subdivision all mapped out
It'll sit right here on this land
And you can leave town a r
ich man"
And he said, "B
oys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be eno
ugh
Chorus
'Cause I got
a little girl that used to swing right there
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
S
he's in the big city, but she still calls home
What's she gonna do if she comes back and we're gone?
A
nd over there, under that white oak tree
B
eneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried
It lasted thirteen huntin' season runnin' strong
Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog
And over there is where I g
ot down on one k
nee
You can't b
uy that k
ind of dirt c
heap"
Verse
O
ne man smiled and he kinda looked away
The other s
aid, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
Between the d
roughts and the floods through all the years
What in the world got you through?
How the hell'd you get here?" And he said
Chorus
"T
hat little girl that used to swing right there
I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
R
unnin' up after one of them long days
A big smile makin' every little worry fade
A
nd over there, under that white oak tree
B
eneath 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' w
hen I got down on o
ne knee
Yeah you can't b
uy that k
ind of dirt c
heap"
Break
No, it ain't s
omethin' you fall into
It's s
omethin' God gives you
And you hold on to
Chorus
Just like that l
ittle girl that used to swing right there
Still see her pink bow in her brown hair
She's in the b
ig city now, but she still calls home
She's comin' back next week and, man, it's been too long
A
nd over there, under that white oak tree
B
eside the cross where my best buddy's buried
L
ays a puppy posted up in the shade
That woman never could turn away a stray
I guess that's why she said 'yes' w
hen I got down on o
ne knee
Lord, l
ong as all this is here, why the h
ell would I ever l
eave?
Yeah you can't buy that k
ind of dirt cheap"
