[00:08.830]They came in thinkin' top dollar
[00:12.860]To that old cotton crop farmer
[00:16.860]They knocked on his screen door and he said
[00:20.900]"Lord, what you need, boys?" And they said
[00:24.430]"You know all the others went and cashed out
[00:28.330]We got the subdivision all mapped out
[00:32.760]It'll sit right here on this land
[00:36.360]And you can leave town a rich man"
[00:39.260]And he said, "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough
[00:46.900]'Cause I got a little girl that used to swing right there
[00:52.300]I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
[00:56.300]She's in the big city, but she still calls home
[01:00.560]What's she gonna do if she comes back and we're gone?
[01:04.360]And ovеr there, under that widе oak tree
[01:08.300]Beneath the cross is where my best buddy's buried
[01:12.530]Lasted thirteen huntin' seasons runnin' strong
[01:16.560]Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog
[01:20.430]And over there is where I got down on one knee
[01:27.060]You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
[01:33.651]
[01:36.500]One man smiled and he kinda looked away
[01:39.660]The other said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
[01:43.630]Between the droughts and the floods through all the years
[01:47.300]What in the world got you through?
[01:49.730]How the hell'd you get here?" And he said
[01:52.124]
[01:52.330]"That little girl that used to swing right there
[01:56.300]I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
[02:00.560]Runnin' up after one of them long days
[02:04.300]A big smile makin' every little worry fade
[02:08.330]And over there, under that wide oak tree
[02:12.330]Beneath the cross, where my best buddy's buried
[02:16.530]All them huntin' seasons freezin' in a jon boat
[02:20.500]Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke
[02:24.300]And that woman that said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
[02:30.560]Yeah, you can't buy that kind of dirt cheap
[02:37.517]
[02:38.830]No, it ain't somethin' you fall into
[02:41.900]It's somethin' God gives you
[02:44.730]And you hold on to
[02:47.804]
[02:50.760]Just like that little girl who used to swing right there
[02:56.160]I still see her pink bow in her brown hair
[02:59.530]She's in the big city now, but she still calls home
[03:03.760]She's comin' back next week and, man, it's been too long
[03:08.330]And over there, under that wide oak tree
[03:12.300]Beside the cross, where my best buddy's buried
[03:16.530]Lays a puppy posted up in the shade
[03:20.300]That woman never could turn away a stray
[03:24.330]I guess that's why she said 'yes' when I got down on one knee
[03:31.630]Oh, long as all this is here, why the hell would I ever leave?
[03:39.030]You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap"
