Dirt Cheap - Cody Johnson - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Penned by songwriter Josh Phillips and produced by Trent Willmon, "Dirt Cheap" shows Cody Johnson at his most relatable on a fictional tale of a farmer who turns down a well-paid subdivision offer from developers ("They came in thinkin' top dollar / To that old cotton crop farmer"). The chorus swells with steel guitar as the protagonist drives his message home: money can't buy you memories ("Keep your money 'cause a man can't leave his dog / And over there is where I got down on one knee"). Ultimately, his emotional ties to the land in question are worth so much more. "Dirt Cheap" is among the highlights of Cody Johnson's eighth studio album Leather, which was released in November 2023 via Warner Music Nashville and saw Trent Willmon get behind the production controls. The follow-up to Cody Johnson's critically acclaimed 2021 opus Human: The Double Album and his third major-label offering to date, Leather spawned a lead single in "The Painter."
