This song isn't just about rodeo. Instantly brought me to tears after thinking about my time in the military. After 8 years in the Army, this hit me like a ton of bricks. It was a love/hate relationship. Made me a better man but I left to focus on my family. I still miss it....at times. It's funny how we only look back on the good times and don't remember all of the hard times. This song has helped put me at peace with my decision to leave.
Thank you for your service. It takes a lot of sacrifice, especially on someone with a family, to serve and it is greatly appreciated that there are people like you willing to make those sacrifices for a whole 8 years.
I was just thinking that myself after 13 years got med boarded and miss it like crazy alot of times but have family now and physically can't do it anymore. AATW HOOAH thank you my hats off to you and all our brothers and sisters we fought with
It reminds me of that girl I met while in the navy that I fell in love with harder than anyone I'd ever loved before just to have it all turn to shit when I got transfered to my next duty station. I haven't dated anyone since it's been 3 years now.
Yes you are correct. Maybe a Rodeo we don't want anyone else to know about or one we wanna share with everyone. The first time I heard this song I thought about my Opioid addiction 12 years ago. I tried to blame it on the Opioids, I tried to assure everyone I was in control, I knew I had to let them go if I wanted to live a longer life, I still think about the feeling I got from them and I am still in love with them. But I did let them go 12 years ago but I'm still in love with them.
Great Job. You're saving country music. Nashville says it's too rodeo for radio well I think they fell on their heads one too many times. The base player wearing a DB t-shirt👍
I’m here to tell you. This song changed everything for me. It changed my life, saved me from depression and suicide. Gave me a whole different outlook on everything. Brought me to my knees when I first heard it. And that’s something I’ll never forget. The gratitude I have for this is incredible. The documentary is a whole different ballgame. By far the best thing I’ve ever put on my tv. Thank you so much.
This song should have hit #1. Absolutely fabulous Cody. Radio should play this song because I have never heard it on the radio and that's probably why it doesn't get more attention.
I was watching Yellowstone when this song started playing. I loved the song so much that I hit pause and came over here to youtube to hear the full song. I am not much of a country fan, but Cody could be changing that for me.
This song never really resonated with me, then I got hurt in Iraq a couple years ago and after 4 surgeries found they won't be able to fix me. Not only will I never fly again, but I'm getting medically retired. Now this song speaks to me.
I cried thinking about then days. That's real. Dreaming bout the buckles ill never wear. Couldn't hang on. So true . This man is the best of our generation! Keep on being true to urself. Someone has to loose to make great champions. We all have a place
Not sure why but it makes me smile seeing the guitarist make a mistake in the beginning, and then the guy on the far right looks at him and laughs. Awesome people, great music.
Any song Cody touches becomes His...No one, and I mean, no one... has reaffirmed my fatih in the power and survival of true country music like he has. May your ride continue for all of us.
I honestly can't say in words what this song means to me. The family and I watched dear rodeo movie last week and brother I'm telling you I cried like a baby! This song means a lot to you Cody and I want you to know it means a lot to me too. Good luck at all you do sir and God bless.
Every time I listen to this version I pick up on another layer of something someone in the band is doing. For a "simple" sounding song, there is so much going on here, and these guys freaking nail it. Such a talented band and amazing voice.
This song will always remind me of the Marine Corps. How much I hated it basically everyday. But how much I miss it now that it’s behind me. “Somehow the highs out weigh the lows.”
My favorite song and I Been waiting to go to one of you concerts for the longest time. My whole family loves you and your music. I never thought me being 11 years old I would love someone’s music so much. Keep it up.
Man, doesn't matter if it's acoustic or the official video with Reba, or your dirt road diary video. Absolutely love listening. Can't get enough.... Thank you
Cody Johnson and Drew Parker in my opinion are the best "modern" country and western singers in the male category. These guys are singing real country music. Yes it might be a little updated compared to old music but it's still real country music we've got the acoustic guitar which he plays very well and we've got the steel guitar going on and a very good song and he also has a very good country voice! I'm happy to hear that we still have some good cowboy singers thank you so much Cody Johnson
Spent 7yrs 6mnths 13days on Active Duty, .11B2P, miss it every day. This songs makes me think what could have been and by it turn out like I wanted it to. Best day was walking away, worst day was walking away
Just watched your show on Amazon prime it was awesome. Thank you for sharing what God has done in your life and the life of others that you had on the show. I guess my rodeo was prison ministry. But God had a plan he will send me and I pray I will follow . Have a blessed year
Your music does something to me that no artist ever has before. I've seen you multiple times and it always feels like a brand new experience each time. Cant wait to see you again my friend. God bless you.
HOW DO YOU READ MY MIND?? > I just was searching for more live acoustic. I need more cody acoustic or some music videos man! Come on! I'm dying to hear human acoustic
That voice! Like a crystal clear river on a blue sky day! Lol. Dear Rodeo is my favorite Cody Johnson song. Wish you would come back to NY! (Long Island)
I’m a songwriter trying to make it here in Nashville and I really relate my love for it to this. Knowing one day I’ll have to move on is really tough. So glad Cody found the success he deserves. God bless COJO!
Your acoustic songs are my favorite, in my opinion your voice is more crisp and clear (not overpowered by the instruments). The instruments are awesome in this setting too. I really loved the steel guitar!
Great song i just found your music and this is some of the best stuff i have heard i am a bull rider who also loves guitar and music just like you i barely listen to anything other than chris leadox and Hank jr but i just found my new favorite artist.
Put on a great concert this past weekend in Michigan. Thanks for coming back. Ian munsick and Easton both sounded amazing as well. Congrats and great job. Hopefully see ya back in the fall

Making peace with broken dreams and broken hearts this song is fucking beautiful! 🥹
Amen
We all have our Rodeo, don’t we.

Underrated comment
Great Job. You're saving country music. Nashville says it's too rodeo for radio well I think they fell on their heads one too many times. The base player wearing a DB t-shirt👍
Lol and Nashville is too Nashville for Rodeo! Great song and great job guys!
What is DB t-shirt??
Dale Brisby Ole' Son. Rodeo Time. He is a texas youtuber. Great channel.
Dale yeah!!
There are several good artists, not just him

Pretty crazy what we can do as people when we set our minds to something…whatever it is. Keep your head up 🙏🏽🇺🇸

Such a simple yet complex song. His experience with rodeo can relate to anyone who has loved something so much and lost it.
Cody and the Rockin CJB, playing acoustically, is even more powerful
This song never really resonated with me, then I got hurt in Iraq a couple years ago and after 4 surgeries found they won't be able to fix me. Not only will I never fly again, but I'm getting medically retired. Now this song speaks to me.
Thank you for your service brother ❤
I’ve heard this song hundreds of times, yet here I sit with goosebumps AGAIN! Keep doing what you do guys!
I absolutely love this song. Definitely one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. The lyrics are so well written, I have to play it every morning.
When life gets crazy, his music can just bring me back down to simplicity of life... incredibly done
I cried thinking about then days. That's real. Dreaming bout the buckles ill never wear. Couldn't hang on. So true . This man is the best of our generation! Keep on being true to urself. Someone has to loose to make great champions. We all have a place
One of the best damn songs ever written and sung!! This one will never die
Cody needs to do an entire acoustic album!
Not sure why but it makes me smile seeing the guitarist make a mistake in the beginning, and then the guy on the far right looks at him and laughs. Awesome people, great music.
Goosebumps. I think you could sing the phone book. You have the voice of an Angel.
Any song Cody touches becomes His...No one, and I mean, no one... has reaffirmed my fatih in the power and survival of true country music like he has. May your ride continue for all of us.
Just when I think there isn’t any new cojo coming out he drops this!!!
Wow, what a rendition of this song...Best ever, Cody!!!!
Reminds me of when I was a kid. Rodeo was my dream. This song gets me so emotional. Great job, Cody. Looking forward to seeing you this summer.
I honestly can't say in words what this song means to me. The family and I watched dear rodeo movie last week and brother I'm telling you I cried like a baby! This song means a lot to you Cody and I want you to know it means a lot to me too. Good luck at all you do sir and God bless.
He don’t even need nothing! Just his voice ❤️
Every time I listen to this version I pick up on another layer of something someone in the band is doing. For a "simple" sounding song, there is so much going on here, and these guys freaking nail it. Such a talented band and amazing voice.
This song will always remind me of the Marine Corps. How much I hated it basically everyday. But how much I miss it now that it’s behind me. “Somehow the highs out weigh the lows.”
Damn… what a great song❤️. Rodeo can be replaced with anything.
Holy smokes this guy is so talented
I loved the documentary! It was fantastic and I've never been so proud of someone I don't even know ❤
Hello there Holly nice meeting you here

This song has inspired me to work harder at rodeo, and at life. Thank you Mr. Cody Johnson

Cody Johnson has become my favorite singer
Really awesome. What a voice.
That voice! Like a crystal clear river on a blue sky day! Lol. Dear Rodeo is my favorite Cody Johnson song. Wish you would come back to NY! (Long Island)
Uno de los mejores cantantes de música Country me fascina cómo canta!!!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🙏❤️👍👍
The world needs a Cody Johnson and Colten Jesse collaboration.
I’m a songwriter trying to make it here in Nashville and I really relate my love for it to this. Knowing one day I’ll have to move on is really tough. So glad Cody found the success he deserves. God bless COJO!
DAME THAT WAS FANTASTIC
So nice to hear real country music again…. You remind me so much of George Straight the “GOAT”
Cody never fails to succeed my expectations! This song is Awesome! Dear Rodeo has to be one of my favourite songs.
Been to the nfr 2 times now and I couldn’t think of a better artist to be there and play the show
My gosh that pedalsteel supports that amazing song like crazy….Great song and superb performance guys. Much love from germany
Thank you COJO. That is all.
This song on Yellowstone was perfect!!! 💖
I think this is my favorite version. I love it.
Again,THANK YOU for keeping real country alive
This is beautiful
That steel pedal is next level smooth
How is this both nostalgia and new at the same time? Missing Texas already from SoDak). Wish you were here during the rodeo at Deadwood.
Love his song especially this one
As a fellow Texan.. thank you for keeping the soul of real Texas country music alive Cody 🤠🤙
Probably the best country song I've ever heard. Any variation brings a grin to my face and makes the cowboy in me wanna dance
This is my favorite song by you
Your acoustic songs are my favorite, in my opinion your voice is more crisp and clear (not overpowered by the instruments). The instruments are awesome in this setting too. I really loved the steel guitar!
Very heart touching song brought me to tears
ah, the sweet sound of steel guitar. i miss that
This hits home with me and my trucking career...say what you will but its cliche buts a lifestyle my family has endured and I miss it
Great song i just found your music and this is some of the best stuff i have heard i am a bull rider who also loves guitar and music just like you i barely listen to anything other than chris leadox and Hank jr but i just found my new favorite artist.
Put on a great concert this past weekend in Michigan. Thanks for coming back. Ian munsick and Easton both sounded amazing as well. Congrats and great job. Hopefully see ya back in the fall
