Track Info

[Intro]
C Cm C [Verse]
C They came in thinkin' top dollar Em To that old cotton crop farmer F They knocked on his screen door

and he said
C "Lord, what you need, boys?"

And they said
C "You know all the others went

and cashed out
Em They got the subdivision

all mapped out
F It'll sit right here on this land C And you can leave town a rich man" G And he said, "Boys,

whatever you're offerin',
F
it won't be enough
[Chorus] C 'Cause I got a little girl that

used to swing right there
Em I still see her pink bow

in her brown hair
F She's in the big city,

but she still calls home
What's she gonna do if

she comes back and we're gone?
C And over there,

under that wide oak tree
Em Beneath the cross is

where my best buddy's buried
F It lasted thirteen huntin'

season runnin' strong
Keep your money

'cause a man can't leave his dog
Am And over there is where
G F
I got down on one knee
F G C You can't buy that kind of dirt cheap" [Verse]
C One man smiled and

he kinda looked away
Em The other said,

"Before we go,

I gotta know one thing
F Between thr droughts and

the floods through all the years
What in the world got you through? How the heck'd you get here?"

And he said
[Chorus]
C "That little girl that used to

swing right there
Em I still see her pink bow

in her brown hair
F Runnin' up after

one of them long days
A big smile makin'

every litttle worry fade
C And over there, under

that wide oak tree
Em Beneath the cross where

my best buddy's buried
F All them huntin' seasons

freezin' in a Jon boat
Me and him, double-barrel and

a two-stroke
Am G And that woman that said 'yes' when
F
I got down on one knee
F Yeah you can't buy that
G C
kind of dirt cheap"
[Break] Am No, it ain't somethin'

you fall into
G It's somethin' God gives you F And you hold on to [Chorus]
C Just like that little girl

that used to swing right there
C Em Still see her pink bow

in her brown hair
Em F 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
C And over there,

under that wide oak tree
Em Beside the cross where

my best buddy's buried
F Lays a puppy posted up in the shade That woman never could turn

away a stray
Am I guess that's why
G
she said 'yes' when
F
I got down on one knee
Am Oh, long as all this is here,
G
why the heck would
F
I ever leave?
Yeah you can't buy that
G C
kind of dirt cheap"
