Cody Johnson
"Dirt Cheap" was written by Josh Phillips, who originally intended it for Luke Combs. After Combs did not use it, Phillips' wife suggested he send it to Cody Johnson, and Phillips' existing connection with producer Trent Willmon helped get it to him. It was released on March 11, 2024, as the second single from Johnson's album Leather, and its music video, directed by Dustin Haney, premiered on June 28, 2024.
The song tells of a railroad company trying to buy the land of an elderly cotton farmer for a new subdivision. He refuses any price, because his fields hold memories of raising his daughter, hunting with his dog, and his marriage.
