Dirt Cheap Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]They came in thinkin' top dollar[Em]
To that old cotton crop farm[F]er
They knocked on his screen door and he said
"Lord, what you need, boys?" And they [C]said
"You know all the others
went and cashed [Em]out
We got the subdivision all mapped [F]out
It'll sit right here on this land
And you could leave town a rich man"

[Pre-chorus 1]
And he [G]said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin',
it won't be e[F]nough

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I [C]got a little girl
that used to swing right [Em]there
I still see her pink bow in her brown [F]hair
She's in the big city, but she still calls home
What's she gonna do
if she comes back and we're [C]gone?
And ovеr there, under that whitе oak [Em]tree
Beneath the cross is where
my best buddy's bur[F]ied
Lasted thirteen huntin' seasons runnin' strong
Keep your money 'cause a man
can't leave his [Am]dog
And over there is where I [G]got down
on [F]one knee
You can't buy that [G]kind of [C]dirt cheap"

[Verse 2]
[C]One man smiled and he kinda looked away
The other [Em]said,
"Before we go, I gotta know one thing
Between the [F]droughts and the floods
through all the years
What in the world got you through?

[Chorus 2]
How the hell'd you get here?" And he said
[C]"That little girl that used to swing
right [Em]there
I still see her pink bow in her brown [F]hair
Runnin' up after one of them long days
A big smile makin' every little worry [C]fade
And over there, under that white oak [Em]tree
Beneath the cross,
where my best buddy's bur[F]ied
All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a jon boat
Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke
[Am]And that woman that said 'yes'[G]
when I got down on [F]one knee
Yeah, you can't buy that [G]kind of [C]dirt cheap"

[Bridge 1]
No, it ain't [Am]somethin' you fall into
It's [G]somethin' God gives you
[F]And you hold on to[F]

[Chorus 3]
Just like [C]that little girl
who used to swing right there
[Em]I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
She's in the [F]big city now,
but she still calls home
She's comin' back next week
and, man, it's been too long
[C]And over there, under that white oak tre[Em]e
Beside the cross,
where my best buddy's bur[F]ied
Lays a puppy posted up in the shade
That woman never could turn away a stray
[Am]I guess that's why she said 'yes[G]'
when I got down on [F]one knee
Oh, [Am]long as all this is here,
why the [G]hell would I ev[F]er leave?
You can't buy that [G]kind of dirt [C]cheap
