Cody Johnson - Dirt Cheap (Official Music Video)

[@Warhorserider1994]

Man this song has hit home from the first time I heard it. I'll be 6th generation on our property. Dad was going over the will and what is in it. Kept saying x-amount of acres for 8500 a acre. This gun is worth this much and the tractors can get a good price at the auction. I stopped him and said anything you leave me I'll try my hardest to get it to my kids. From the truck to the land to the guns. It's our family's and our legacy. He about cried. I about did to realizing he thought I just wanted to sell. Thank you cody. This song is amazing.

The wait is killing me you know it's gonna be epic. Thinking back about when he was asked about the song and his response was that it was written by a songwriter years before about a family member of his own. But he had held onto it until he found the right person to perform the song, and he made one hell of a good choice in who he let perform his song. Couldn't see any other country artist give this song the justice and respect it deserves more than Cody Johnson.

I was once that little girl…the dirt between my toes was far more precious than the diamonds that the future gave. We stood back and watched that dirt get signed away when cancer took dad in just 26 days. Even as an adult watching it go, I saw and heard daddy saying “come on inside, it’s getting dark, sis. And you look tired”. That dirt filled several acres of land…we built our home with our own hands. Saying goodbye crushed our hearts…but not as much as losing him ripped our world apart I still have some of that dirt in a jar, a few rocks and some grass that has withered away. But the price for that jar is far greater than gold. And the memories we shared I will forever hold. Thanks, CoJo for keeping it real! For a reminder that hurt don’t always heal. To let ya know that money is nothing compared to a house built on dirt and filled with lovin’

[@JaneeceFromMontana]

Bobby -- I know the pain of losing a best friend aka my dog. They are the best, right? Plus, labs are the happiest dogs on the planet! I am truly sorry for the loss of your best buddy, Gunner. The fact that the song hits so close to home tells me Gunner is letting you know he's okay and loves and misses you, too. You will see him again one day. Thanks for being such a great "Dad" to Gunner. Sending prayers for comfort to you, because I understand all to well they are NOT "just a dog". They are our best friends (and mine are my babies). Rest Easy on High, sweet Gunner. Your Daddy loves and misses you so much.

The fact that this video relates to almost every farmer nowadays is crazy. So many developers are trying to break tradition, family’s and life just for their money.

No. It’s crazy that the farmers who don’t cash out have to just adapt to the modern development.

But several times when we have been together and riding around in my truck...this song would come on and she would just reach over and grab my hand...and through the tears, we would sing this together.

Amen. Don't leave that land ... don't leave this world without Jesus.

[@carlmorrill3997]

the saddening part is, corporate greed has driven land prices so high that people who simply want something to leave to their kids cannot achieve these goals without being in absolute financial distress. risking it all, 24/7, 365. this song is a masterpiece that i don't believe George Strait ever surpassed, in my opinion.

[@frostydax]

Agreed. Tragic

[@jadeebrown1221]

41.38 acres… my brother & I are 4th gen. When the for sale sign went up, everyone cried. Even splitting it between all of us, my parents included, we cannot afford the property taxes. The conservation covenant has saved us this long, but without my elderly grandmothers that just passed’s tax breaks, it can’t anymore. My dad was born & raised & has lived his entire life on this land. He knows nothing else. My grandad & him & his brothers built every home with love on this property. Government is taxing us out. developers interested are looking at building 82 homes on it. We have no option but to cash out & move a state over for some land. & then others judge for “selling out.” This is what’s wrong with America. Dad was born here & had expected to die here. My husband & I expected to raise OUR children on this land. None of it is possible anymore.😭

Greatest man in history who had no servants yet they called him MASTER. He had no degree, yet they called him TEACHER. He had no medicines, yet they called him HEALER. He had no army yet kings feared him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb yet HE LIVES TODAY......His name is JESUS!

[@simplyfatemanic9893]

This song just hits different. I'm reminded of a guy I met last month. It was country night at the bar that night. I was the designated sober guy, so I was drinking sparkling water instead of any alcohol and this song came on. I saw this one guy break down in tears and asked what's wrong. Turned out a few years ago, he had lived out the events of this music video himself. He'd been the guy trying to buy the land himself. The old guy wouldn't sell then either. The only difference was that the old man had Alzheimer's, but still remembered all the important reasons he wouldn't sell the land for. When his son walked up to talk with the man I was talking too, the old man didn't recognize him and called his grandson by his son's name. He thought the events he was recounting to the seller only happened years before when it was really over 30 years ago. That's real family love right there. By the end of the story, the whole bar was listening and we all toasted that old man.

[@williamholmes7813]

Man is this my story, proposed to my wife on my dads farm under an oak tree by the pond right next to where my buddy was buried. Now my little girl runs under those trees is it raining in here or is it me 🥲🤣lord am I blessed

This land holds the memory of our yesterdays and the promise of our future. When you own a piece of heaven, you don't sell it.

[@altapape4594]

I grieve for the land my siblings connived to keep from me. They succeeded and lost it all. Greed overtook them and stripped them bare. The land my Papa worked so hard for and on, the years my grandmother scrimped to keep it for the grandchildren, gone. Everything a person could ever need was in that land. Wild game, berries, grapes, ice cold clear spring water, spring fed fields for hay or crops, pecan and oak trees abundant. Gone, for a dollar sign. I was the only grandchild that would have never sold it, and the only one that was cut from it. With it went my heart, my sense of family, my belonging somewhere. This song, God Bless You.

[@Tonetwisters]

Be encouraged in your broken heart. Jesus is coming back soon to take us out of here and we will come back and live in paradise on earth. Coming soon to a planet near you. Keep your chin up, time is running out.

[@lauraliddell5691]

I just heard this song for the first time today as I was driving my truck with my two "best friends" in the seat behind me, and this song just brought me to tears. My husband and I are 3rd generation family-land owners in Southern Oregon. We live in my husband's childhood home, which we bought from his mother several years ago (she stayed, living with us until she passed on in 2021). I grew up across the river from my husband. We went through school together, watched the stars on warm, summer nights from atop the roof together, and that roof is also where he proposed to me. We got married up here, raised our 3 kids up here, and our youngest son was born up here. We've been trying to hang onto it, but we are now in our 60's and having mobility issues. Takes a lot to keep our little six acres maintained. Our kids are scattered, and our 10 grandkids with them, and no one is close by anymore to help or take over. So my husband and I are discussing whether to keep trying to hold out for our kids/grandkids/and future great grandkids, or sell, since we can't afford to maintain it anymore, living on our limited pensions. Trouble is, there are so many memories here--our life is here. All of our dogs, cats, parrots, favorite roosters/hens are buried up under the trees in the forest above our home. We can still remember the fun we had as kids making our homemade zipline down our gully, the foundations of the cabin my husband first started to build when he was 16 years old and we had just met, the two old tree houses that his little brother, our three kids, and at least 6 of our 10 grandkids have played in over the decades, etc. This song just perfectly summed up our feelings for our home, and It makes me even more determined to try to find a way to hold on until at least one of our kids or grandkids can come back home and take over. Thank you so much, Cody, for so beautifully bringing this song to life. ❤

[@Warhorserider1994]

Coming from a nobody. Get your family home for one occasion. Get the youngens playing in the yard. Let them enjoy the property and see all it has to offer, the material and memories. Get everyone in the memories. Then, while the kiddos are playing, bring the rest of the family in for the hard talk. One of them out of your big family has to see it's worth more than money. It's not easy, but I believe family will back family. Best of wishes to your family and the disisons.

[@lauraliddell5691]

@houstonwilson4503 Thank you. I appreciate the advice. Two out of our three kids say they want it, but Oregon is not a place where it is easy to get a decent career and make ends meet. Right now, our kids are in the middle of raising 13 through 17- year-olds, and their businesses and careers are in mid-Tennessee, and Utah. The oldest is in Portland with his 17-yr-old daughter, and they love the big city life and have absolutely no interest in moving back to Southern Oregon. Thanks again, though--it is great advice. 🙂

[@kevinlail8828]

I can't watch it without tearing up. Unfortunately the people who hold these values true to their heart and soul are becoming fewer and fewer these days. It saddens me to see all the farms sold just in my own area. Those people where the ones who built this country. Let's not forget that!😢❤

That’s so true and were I used to live at I knew everybody there and now I don’t see them anymore and my mom Basically lost or don’t speak to them anymore and the only people that she speaks to now is my granny and my grandma and I don’t even see them that much but I’m going to see them in a couple of days

"A man can't leave his dog" Amen to that for sure. R.I.P. Gus 12/21/23. I will never leave you either 🥹 So many things about this song touch my heart with a deep meaning. It's really a wonderful song about life, love, and humanity. I recently laid my best friend to rest beneath a cross under a red oak tree beside another cross where first best buddy is buried. So many things in life are more important than money. I've never cried so much listening to a song before in my life.
