He's the reason real country music will survive. May he always stay blessed. Much love and respect to him.

[@Jedpack]

Look up Zach Top. There’s a few helping folks!

[@MichaelJohnson-iv2hy]

All that fake country music out there, thank god for CoJo

[@boydboys]

1000 percent

[@bigbomber11]

@astarner1Problem is mainstream, for the most part, don’t want them. Stapleton has found a home, but the other 3 are “under the radar,” which as a country fan, doesn’t make me mad.

[@Joshlikespokemon_]

@@MichaelJohnson-iv2hy you don’t like luke combs, zach bryan, tyler childers, etc.?

[@jasonbrown681]

Cody is the real deal Cowboy, his love for christ, and his heavenly music is what Country needs. His stance on America goes right along with his music. Keep on CoJo, you are country music 😊

[@bomikalunas7]

Agree

[@phillipstoltzfus3014]

I love him!

[@jacalyngoulet786]

so we’ll put

[@Rockcreekrebelkennels]

@@jacalyngoulet786yes very true but if you would like to know why he lives Christ and why he sings and doesn’t rodeo anymore good on prime tv and look up the Cody Johnson story it’s his own documentary

[@cosmic_relaxation13]

Didn't know I'll put my research time in brother. God Bless America!

[@Roses_88]

“Mamas don’t let you cowboys grow up to be babies” that is so dang true🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸god bless America

[@dukemode323]

He is like a new age George Strait. COJO is pure country! Totally appreciate his music and keeping it real.

[@hugocazares3935]

Cojo been doing this for years. About damn time he’s finally getting the respect he’s been deserving for a long time. He’ll keep real country music alive which is what makes me proud. Don’t ever change Cody, you’re the best in the business right now.

[@CODYJOHNSONFANS]

❤

[@lmn1966]

Yes and Larry Fleet too.

[@aaronsinclair6821]

I love where Cody is at in his career. He has one of the most passionate basses, has radio hits that stay true to who he is and he has the respect from all the past stars! Keep it up CoJo!

[@danielwaters191]

I got to see him live last month, and after this performance plus the one at the CMT Awards I had to get myself some merch. At the local rodeo I saw a couple COJO hats and shirts. Only place I've seen them besides the concert tbh.

[@jw7940]

This is the most Texan performance since King George! Filled with attitude and confidence! Been a Cody fan for about 10 yrs now and to see him have the success he deserves makes me so happy! Texas is so proud of you!!

[@enelliomcginnis1612]

Dude can remix any song and sound like his own

[@That_Ginger_MiBa]

He kept the words the same as the original that was recorded by Waylon and Willie! He even added jennings' joking way halfway through!

[@FiveO660]

Spotify has a great quality version up

[@JustenHarden]

One of the greatest vocalists of all time, no question

[@paigeknight3795]

This is why I have seen 3 of his concerts in 3 years. I would see more if my husband wasn't worried I'd be a groupy!! Love ya CJ ! You are the next biggest thing you can literally do it all I will be a fan as long as you keep doing you!!! He's the real deal!!!

[@LawrenceMcLaughlan-jj4kz]

This guy gonna have 1 hell of country music career following in the footsteps of the greats that became before him Waylon and Willie must be smiling

[@bethseptember8]

So disappointed "till you can't" did not win. The verse about talking to momma brings tears, every DAMN time. Glad HE sang to Willie and the Ghost of Waylon. Outstanding.

[@justiceharrison5142]

[@jasonaldeanchat08]

Thank you for your likes and comment on my KZbin channel where are you from?

[@stefanjones4483]

One of the only true country performers left in mainstream “country”.

[@danielwaters191]

It's pretty much just him and the guys he tours with (Justin Moore, Randy Houser, Drew Parker etc). And some other Texas artists like Midland, Randall King, Drake Milligan. As a Californian I have to recognize Jon Pardi too for carrying traditional country through the dark ages of bro country.

Them tht don’t know him won’t like him, and them tht do sometimes won’t know how to take him. He aint wrong, he’s just different. But his pride won’t let him do things to make you think he’s right….. prove me there’s a better lyric in country music.

[@saiamoungatonga6039]

We are getting spoiled here in Australia when he and Luke Combs come in August!! Can't waitttttt

[@MatthewRodriguez-p2q]

A nod to Dale Watson "Mama's don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies" !

[@jamesm9327]

I love Dale Watson. It's a shame real country singers like Dale Watson don't get the recognition they deserve on the radio, much less on these "country" award shows. Instead they play Morgan wallen and Kane brown 🙄

[@robbieomeara1649]

It’s a nod to Willie and Waylon buddy.

[@at0m558]

The fiddle is just as important as Cody , great stuff!

Very nice touch with our grand pappy Willie up there, nice touch brother.

[@hayespittman8643]

I love this song

[@tylerbrandt8492]

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold. They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold. Lone star belt buckles and old faded Levi's, And each night begins a new day. If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young, He'll probably just ride away. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love. Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings, Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night. Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do, Sometimes won't know how to take him. He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him, Do things to make you think he's right. Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks. Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such. Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys. Cause they'll never stay home and they're always alone. Even with someone they love.

[@Courtney-d4n]

Today musicians need to take notes and have more music like Cody's! And did an amazing job covering Waylon. Great job

[@makaylamosquinski1601]

We need a album with all these old country songs he covers

[@4mrholsterco981]

Love it. Best cover of that song out there hands down, and a true country music artist among bullshit pop music sang in a southern accent. Death before pop country.
