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 could
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 whitе 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 ****'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
Her 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 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 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
Lord long as all this is here
Why the **** would I ever leave
You can't buy
that kind of dirt cheap
