(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
(F) "Lord, what you (C)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
(F) And you can leave town a (C)rich man"
And he said, (G) "Boys, whatever you're offerin', it won't be enough (F)

(Chorus)
'Cause I got (C) 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
(F) 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
(F) Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog
(Am) And over there is where I (G)got down on one (F) knee
You can't (F)buy that (G)kind of dirt (C)cheap"

(Verse)
(C) One man smiled and he kinda looked away
The other (Em)said, "Before we go, I gotta know one thing
Between thr (F)droughts and the floods through all the years
What in the (F)world got you through?
How the (F)hell'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
(F) 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
(F) Me and him, double-barrel and a two-stroke
(Am) And that woman that said 'yes' (G) when I got down on (F)one knee
Yeah you can't buy (F) that (G)kind of dirt (C)cheap"

(Break)
No, it ain't (Am)somethin' you fall into
It's (G)somethin' God gives you
(F) And you hold on to

(Chorus)
Just like that (C) little girl that used to swing right there
(Em) Still see her pink bow in her brown hair
She's in the (F)big city now, but she still calls home
She's (F)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
(F)That woman never could turn away a stray
(Am) I guess that's why she said 'yes' (G) when I got down on (F)one knee
Oh, long as (Am)all this is here, why the (G)hell would I ever (F)leave?
Yeah, you can't buy (F) that kind (G) of dirt cheap” (C) - - - - -
