I have never Rodeoed a day in my life and this song makes me miss it. I can only imagine how he feels walking off the stage and riding off in front of that sold out crowd. Has to be the best feeling in the entire world.
Yellowstone S4E9 brought me here. The song itself is quite well written. The way the lyric dances across the backing track, the pentameter is impeccable. And then there's the arraignment. Tele on the left, Lester on the right and the steel guitar crying in the middle. Good catch with Yellowstone. It was a perfect fit for the storyline.
It was perfect for yellow stone is right.. jimmy standing there looking on knowing it probably would kill him if he ever done it again..brilliant scene
I saw this live and was very impressed. I just happened to be with a girl I was dating and very much hoping to get serious with. It was such a special moment seeing her face while this song was playing. Now I’m watching it with that same girl while we wait to go grab our kids from daycare.
I am a huge fan of rodeo and every time I listen to this song it makes me want to cry. The western sports world is so passionate and strong. So glad Cody Johnson could find a way to express his love and support of the rodeo world.
I just love this song. I am now 60 years old but growing up, I was a barrel racer. I lived to chase cans. The rodeo environment is life blood. I miss it so much. My nephew has taken up roping so I still get to live vicariously through him. Thank you Cody for keeping real country alive.
Performing this in front of your home crowd has got to be the ultimate Success ever… and what’s even more awesome… he gives all his praises to GOD 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I love you CoJo
I was able to see this live and it was easily one of the best performances I've ever seen! Not just his pure vocal and musical talent but his salute to military and law enforcement and then riding off on his horse...not much can top it!
The only person that retired was you retired on yourself. Many different ways you can still be involved with rodeo but you choose the direction that you're on. Understand it's not wise to get back in the saddle, but rodeo is a lifestyle like trucking is a lifestyle. If it wasn't good for me to be in the driver's seat, I certainly won't retire or quit. Many different ways you or I can still be part of something that can't explain the love we have for what we do. It's the passion for the lifestyle we love. Love what you do and you will never ever work a day in your life and getting paid for doing what you love feels like a bonus.
@Johnny White Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I choose not to quit and most likely never retire. The day you retire, is the day your putting an expiration date on yourself. My individuals that do, not long after = Die of boredom. Just like many who have been married for 50years go home shortly after the spouse passes on.
Did it for his friend Lane Frost met them in Plentywood,Montana never knew who they were bull riders n I watched 8seconds smh sad but was happy to shake hands n have steak dinner ya
Any human being with a heart knows this song gives them chills and wen he hopped on the horse made a grown man wanna tear up for some reason .. I dont go a day without a little cojo Helps me get through my days him and George Strait 💪💪💪💪💪
the reason is that for Cody it was rodeoing... for me it was Football.. for others it could of been their passion or dream of being doctor or police officer... thats why this song gives us all chills.
Never rodeoed, but I raced motocross had dreams of going somewhere with it. Ended breaking up breaking my back. 1:34 nailed exactly how I feel. I wake up everyday body not feeling the best but I wouldn’t of given it up for anything. This song puts a tear in my eye.
Never raced but I crashed tore my acl ruptured my kidney and spleen on the right side and almost died from my supermoto….hard to give it up dirtbikes man. You’re born with the love of dirtbikes.
Being there was amazing. I cried when he got on that horse. What an AMAZING show he put on. I still remember how it felt hearing that song for the first time at the Rodeo.
He owned the Houston Rodeo that night! What makes it even crazier is that he was the replacement act with only a few days to prepare when Old Dominion canceled at the last minute due to a death in a band member's family. There were very few people at the swag stands before he played. Afterwards there were long lines at every one. Cody played to a packed house and made everyone a fan.
@@Robert-yf1kn The fact that you used "I seen" and "trending" in the same sentence is quite the contrast. English a second language? Or just basic grammar an issue?
@@Robert-yf1kn Does genre really matter? There are countless examples of music crossing over from one genre to another. In the end it's music. And your personal tastes are just that-personal. It is possible to not like certain types of music and just walk away from it. You might be better off anyway. Why even start a debate? No one wins. Like what you want. Let other people enjoy their choice. It's a big world.
Been listening to you for almost 10 years. I remember seeing you back in local bars outside of Dallas and only locals seemed to know your name. I’m so happy you’re taking our red dirt music and spreading it further to the areas of the world who never knew red dirt music was even a genre and letting them learn what our small town ranch lives consist of 🖤🖤🖤
@@Texasmade7739 Same here. Saw him at a venue in NE TX, near Paris almost 10 years ago. Now I'm back home in Houston and have seen him at the Houston Rodeo 2xs (this yr would have been the 3rd but it was shut down due to the virus scare) and a separate concert last summer at the Toyota Center. I'm willing to travel to see him over and over. Love me some COJO. ❤
From someone who’s never even seen a real rodeo I don’t know why this song hits home so hard. The contrasts to a real relationship and the magic of Cody just make it!
Oh God was für ein super Künstler Cowboy und sympathischer Texaner ! Ich bin faszinierd von deinen wunderschönen Songs und deiner Herzlichkeit . Das Publikum liebt dich und ich auch . Habe gleich deine App abgeladen damit ich alle Songs genießen kann🙏🙋♀️👍🥰😘🇺🇸🇺🇸🪕🎸🎸🎹🎼🎻🎻😊
So epic. I've obviously never met Cody but I'm so proud of him and happy for him. He looked like he was having the time of his life in this video and I know he was. This was beautiful 🇺🇸
Definitely reminds me of my love and days of rodeoing up and down the state of California in high school and makes me miss those days. Another great song, I’m obsessed with all of them and all of them are my favorites! Can’t wait for this album to come out! Thank you Cody Johnson for keeping country alive! #CoJoNation
That Ol' Texas Cowboy is straight gettin' after it there, boys and girls! CJ is what Country/Texas Country has been needin'! Lotsa straight truth and authenticity! You can feel everything! Boyd Palhemus, ( Rodeo announcer/commentator), would and is definitely proud and honored to share a spotlight with this Texas Cowboy! King George has an upcoming Texas Cowboy and son he is proud of! When CJ has his Rodeo moment after his song has ended, he gets to have his special moment in front of a true crowd! That is the real Cowboy ride! Couldn't you imagine?! His ride and attention after the song is like strolling up the 18th hole with at Augusta knowing you've got it covered for the rest of the way on out! Very humble and a badass! - Go get 'em, CJ!
I rode bulls for 7yrs and damit I miss it so badly it's a hole in my soul that nothing can replace it but as a bull rider injury's get the best of us old cowboys but I did love the challenges of the sport and miss a lot of old friends as well I can definitely relate to this song brought a tear to my eye thank you Mr Johnson for writing the song means a lot to a lot of us out here I tip my hat to you for such a beautiful song 🙏🤠
The fact that i was 15 yards away from the stage, watching you perform this song, live in my country, in Brazi, will NEVER sink in!! Every day i wake up thinking it was a dream, but it was not, i was living one of my best moments!! Thank you Cody!
Here I sit, with a beer in my hand two years later from when I forst saw this video, with tears in my eyes and a beer in my hand. What a beautiful song this is, and what time I've had between then and now. I never thought this song would be the soundtrack of my life last year, but what a roller coaster its been. Leaving my job of over seven years, moving into a new workplace, the new job not working out, and onto another place. I'm not making the most money, but I make enough to get by, and I've been meeting some amazing people every day. I've lost some friends, and made some new ones. My heart was broken, and now its being patched up. This song has become a focal point for me as I go through this journey, as I'm still learing to be human.
Definitely makes cry a little every time I hear it. Share the same story with Cojo, just wasn’t good enough to make it, still very in love with rodeo no matter how much I try to push it out of my mind. We lived it and it never goes away. Much respect CJ.
One of the reasons I love country music is it’s relatability, this song is a prime example. Cody Johnson writes a love letter to the sport of rodeo, a sport he loved with all his heart but ultimately had to give up. The feelings in this song resonate with me and my love of baseball. I miss college baseball. There truly is nothing like it. The camaraderie with the team. The daily grind of pushing yourself to get better. Cody says it best “somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I’d do it all again even though we both know, I’d still have to let you go.” Life is good, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. But to not look back is impossible. The bond I had with baseball and all that came with it was irreplaceable. I guarantee you right now you’ve got something in your life that you cherish like this. So whatever it is, cherish it a little more. Because one day it’ll only be a distant memory, and you’ll have to look back wondering if you loved it enough.
CJ I must say that there are probably many a cowboy that can relate to this song, myself included. I got on my last bull in 1996 and have always "wondered" or "what if". I will be 50 yo this year and make the most money I have ever made, married 20 years, a healthy, happy 12yo son and know I made the right decisions in my life. Like you, I can say it was one hell of a ride and I would not change a thing. I still love the sport of Rodeo and considering buying into some bucking bulls just to be around it again. Thanks for this song and all you do to keep the spirit of the cowboy alive.
I never rodeoed before but this song relates to me more than you know. I separated from the navy and it was to be involved with my family instead of only being home for moments at a time. Not a day goes by i dont miss the navy. This song hits me everytime i hear it all thank you ❤️❤️
WOW and again, WOW!! Until this evening, had never heard of Cody Johnson, but I gotta say, WOW! Definitely a new fan here. Im gonna spend the rest of the evening listening to that wonderful voice and hearing true country!! Thank you Cody, God Bless You. He sure has blessed you with some beautiful talent. WOW!
I just watched Codys documentary. Now I'm listening to this song in a whole different way. Its not necessarily about a rodeo. But a dream. Mine was baseball. And when it ended i blamed everyone and everything. Lost myself in partying and alcohol. But it wasnt them. It was me. Now i see it. I too was jaded.
this song makes me speechless. If somehow Cody reads this I hope he knows that this song deeply thrills me and makes me remember all the wonderful things in life that i love and cherish. It reminds me of my first love, baseball. Dear Cody if you do find this I would like you to know once i am able to play the guitar like i want to be able to I want to write a song about my first love baseball. I'll have you in mind with the poetic beauty of this song. God bless you. Your fan, Logan
that's the great thing about music there can always be a different meaning come out of a song we all interpret things different it's all about your prospective
I have 3 role models in life. Jesus, J.B MAUNEY for his drive and passion, and Cody Johnson for his way of talking (singing) and his lifestyle. Living my dream sir. Id give anything to pick a guitar good, sing like you, and love your life. I’m just not that fortunate.
I was there when he performed this and watching it back a year later still gives me chills. I went with my best friend and it was super last minute. It was the night of, we were going to a friend's baseball game, then got a call asking if we wanted to go. Experience of a lifetime that I will NEVER forget. Especially the part where he posted us on his Facebook!
Stop hating on different styles of music. Every genre has it’s different styles. Just find what you like and listen to it. Stop being a little bitch. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. (Mind blowing, right?)
@@benjamingriffies5701 no its bullshit the country they play on the radio is trash. How bold of you to call someone a bitch for expressing their opinion on a site designed to express your opinion.
sadboy8413 negative! I’m a Mexican, and I was blessed to meet Cody back in 2014 at a beach bar in South Padre Island. He was opening for Casey Donahew, but I was there for him. Met him by himself without his band. Got to hang out with him for about an hour. He’s an amazing person. I loved his music before that moment, and after that it just made me respect him so much. Hell of a guy he is!
This is not only a great song by CoJo, this is one of the best songs that has been released by a country artist in a long time! Looking forward to the full album release coming January 2019.
I got a concussion bull riding over the summer. Have to take a few months off at least according to the neurologist. This song sums up how I feel. Keep gettin on, even when the hurt’s more than the reward. It’s worth it
The lyrics to this song hit hard in every aspect in life, so many hard times in life. You just gotta pause your life for a minute and know what you want in life. Thank you you CODY JOHNSON for this heart felt song. When you see him drop the guitar pick you k ow that’s when you know he is going to be to be big in the business..
All of the great country music has always came from Oklahoma and Texas. It became, well not in my taste of music, when it was being made by them South Carolina and Tennessee people.
@@oinchadoomandwolfboy I'm sure texas would take Oklahoma with them and Oklahoma would go no problem. When it comes to politics texas is a red state and in the last election Oklahoma was fully red lmao
Brother... watching you ride the horse around the sold out arena like that. It's truly an inspiration to all the people out there pursuing their dreams. That had to have been a hell of a moment!
Escuchar la música y todo me lleva al amor quiero acordarme de su cara de su sonrisa mi alma te extraña te extraño mis ojos te extraño año tu aroma❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
Absolutely my Daddy quit when I was born and he missed it almost every day. His buddies did too so in 1974 they got together and the first OldTimers rodeo was held in Hyannis Nebraska. This continues today nationwide as The National Senior Pro Rodeo Association. Let’s Go Let’s Show Let’s Rodeo
One of my fav songs! I was born and raised in San Antonio, rode horses for years-English saddle-rode in 3 big parades a year, many horse show competitions and yes, rode in the rodeo. The rodeo wasn’t a competition but showing English saddle riding and what we could do without anything to hang onto! At first I was a member of a group of girls-GIRL SCOUTS! I was determined to get the Horsewoman badge…little did I know how it would change my life. I never got off after that! I’m a senior now, can’t ride anymore 🥲and do whatever I can to support Wild Mustang Rescues. (Skydog Sanctuary). I have also spoken to GirI Scout troops about dedication and the love of horses. I don’t know about you, but I have 2 artificial hips. I spent a lot of time on the ground! English saddle you hang on with your legs or you’re off on the ground!! I also have a huge love of watching bull riding! Keep singing Cody! You’re really a star!!
Joe Mannix I assume your shit that you're talking about? If you got nothing good to say don't. You got your genre of music and we have ours. Let's keep it that way. Happy Holidays God bless
Is it possible for every single one of your songs to be my “favorite” song? I love you. I just drove up to Nashville to see you last week, and you amaze me every time. Can’t wait to see you again, and I hope I can meet you some day.💙 #texan
Michelle Hughes lucky you! I was there when he had just started music and would fill up a small bar in my hometown in Texas, and we would all dance to a few of his songs. Watching him grow this big makes me emotional, he is the best. Can’t wait to see him live again, I will follow this man on tour. CoJo Nation forever!!!!
Cody , you are the bomb . I sing loud and cry to this song . I'm not ready to say goodbye ! I have a lot more horses out there ready to kick me , bite me , knock me unconscious , slam me into shit and break my bones ..... and then look me in the eye and trust and love me . Chin up heels down darlin' ❤❤
I have seen him twice in concert and to watch him absolutely love his fans and what he does is amazing. He reminds me so much of George Strait and The Cowboy Rides Away song. 😭😭😭
To all you that are from Texas and are around the rodeo circuits you know this hits home. We are proud of cody. We have been for along time. He may not blow up the "Nashville" radio deal but here in Texas he rocks many Saturday night radios
Dear rodeo I'd be lying if I tried to tell you I don't think about you After all the miles and wild nights that we've been through Lord knows we had a few Dear rodeo I'd like to say that I took the reigns and rode away No regrets, no left unsaids, just turn the page Awe, but you know better babe. Between all those towns and broken bones. The dream of a buckle I'll never put on I'm jaded, woah, I hate it. But, somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I'd do it all again, even though We both know I'd still have to let you go So dear rodeo, I've tried like hell to tell myself it was all your fault. I held on tight with all my might, I just couldn't hang on. And that's hard to hang your hat on. Between all those towns and broken bones. The dream of a buckle I'll never put on I'm jaded, woah, how I hate it. But, somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I'd do it all again, even though We both know I'd still have to let you go Dear rodeo, I'd like to think you miss me too, but I know ya don't. Aww, but that don't change the past and that dont change the truth. I'm still in love with you Dear rodeo.

This is one of those songs that even if you don't rodeo, it hits you deep for whatever passion to chase something and not being able to achieve it. Sometimes knowing its better to walk away and find a new passion to chase rather than the continued heartbreak. Beautiful song.
So proud to see him come this far! Saw him and met him at Shenanigans when I was going to Sam and it’s just awesome. Texas country is real country ya’ll!
The future of country music... The future King of Country once George steps down... So glad to hear old school country music make a come back through CoJo and many others just like him. Putting American Country music back on the map!
I love the movment in country music being made over the last few years. And the demand for legit music over mass produced trash. Im more partial tothe Jinks's, Ward's, Colters and cauthens bht dammit mr. Cody here knocked this out of the arena. The likes of Cody and Watson with the more 'traditional' sound... they are simply amazing. Please keep it up gentlemen. Make radio waves worth it again please.
I remember this night like it was yesterday, I loved the performance, the set was great. Cody seems like a very down to earth type of person, very appreciative of his fans and the opportunity to be doing this. I hope one day I'll have the opportunity to meet and have a conversation with Cody Johnson
Allen you are spot on, met him last July, great guy very down to earth. We joked about my cap, one of his, said it was his favorite style, wore it until they put his name on it, than he kind a shrugged and said "can't wear no cap with my own name on it...I laughed and said what about Cole Swindell, he does? He got a big old smile on his face and laughed..."don't get me started man!" is all he said. Really special that he took the time to talk and be real with my wife and I.
This song makes me think about my baseball career, I absolutely loved the sport in high school, thought I was going to play forever... This song struck a chord in me because I feel the same way, I'll always love that game. Thanks CoJo💙
We laid my buddy Dustin “Duck” pratt to rest today... he was just 26 years old... cancer took his life... my other buddy performed this song at his funeral. It was one of ducks favorite songs.. for him the rodeo was drag racing.. cancer took everything from him including his ability to race and eventually his life. Great song
I get that too I raced mud bog racing , barrel racing with jeeps, toyotas,four wheelers and horses so i get it . sorry for your friends loss may he rest in peace and glad you played the song he loved at his funneral kudos to you all..
I guess i'm the only italian who loves Cody and country music, i feel this music as mine, i do not why, it's just a feeling, i never been in the states, but i feel in my blood the country. Without an explanation, and i never ride a horse, but a like it… like we say "Boh"...
I have never Rodeoed a day in my life and this song makes me miss it. I can only imagine how he feels walking off the stage and riding off in front of that sold out crowd. Has to be the best feeling in the entire world.
I carry the lingering injuries today at 62 incurred in my late teens from rodeo, I’d do it all over.
@@michaeldubya üu
the feeling of riding in front of a crowd rodeoing is like nothing else the adrenaline is deadly and exilerating
It’s something most of us miss every day even though folks like myself are so beat up we couldn’t do it again

Not very many songs bring a tear to my eye. But as a retired Rodeo Saddle Bronc Rider who had to leave the sport way too soon, this gets me.
The only person that retired was you retired on yourself. Many different ways you can still be involved with rodeo but you choose the direction that you're on.

I rode bulls for 7yrs and damit I miss it so badly it's a hole in my soul that nothing can replace it but as a bull rider injury's get the best of us old cowboys but I did love the challenges of the sport and miss a lot of old friends as well I can definitely relate to this song brought a tear to my eye thank you Mr Johnson for writing the song means a lot to a lot of us out here I tip my hat to you for such a beautiful song 🙏🤠
Thank you Yellowstone for introducing me to Cody Johnson 😭🥰
The fact that i was 15 yards away from the stage, watching you perform this song, live in my country, in Brazi, will NEVER sink in!! Every day i wake up thinking it was a dream, but it was not, i was living one of my best moments!! Thank you Cody!
Best country singer in a long long long time love from ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
🏴 🇮🇪♥️🤠
Here I sit, with a beer in my hand two years later from when I forst saw this video, with tears in my eyes and a beer in my hand. What a beautiful song this is, and what time I've had between then and now. I never thought this song would be the soundtrack of my life last year, but what a roller coaster its been.
Leaving my job of over seven years, moving into a new workplace, the new job not working out, and onto another place. I'm not making the most money, but I make enough to get by, and I've been meeting some amazing people every day. I've lost some friends, and made some new ones. My heart was broken, and now its being patched up.
This song has become a focal point for me as I go through this journey, as I'm still learing to be human.
I was there that night, and the moment he rode off on the horse, I had a broader understanding of the song. Great song my guy 💪🏿
Definitely makes cry a little every time I hear it. Share the same story with Cojo, just wasn’t good enough to make it, still very in love with rodeo no matter how much I try to push it out of my mind. We lived it and it never goes away. Much respect CJ.
One of the reasons I love country music is it’s relatability, this song is a prime example. Cody Johnson writes a love letter to the sport of rodeo, a sport he loved with all his heart but ultimately had to give up. The feelings in this song resonate with me and my love of baseball. I miss college baseball. There truly is nothing like it. The camaraderie with the team. The daily grind of pushing yourself to get better. Cody says it best “somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I’d do it all again even though we both know, I’d still have to let you go.” Life is good, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. But to not look back is impossible. The bond I had with baseball and all that came with it was irreplaceable. I guarantee you right now you’ve got something in your life that you cherish like this. So whatever it is, cherish it a little more. Because one day it’ll only be a distant memory, and you’ll have to look back wondering if you loved it enough.
CJ I must say that there are probably many a cowboy that can relate to this song, myself included. I got on my last bull in 1996 and have always "wondered" or "what if". I will be 50 yo this year and make the most money I have ever made, married 20 years, a healthy, happy 12yo son and know I made the right decisions in my life. Like you, I can say it was one hell of a ride and I would not change a thing. I still love the sport of Rodeo and considering buying into some bucking bulls just to be around it again. Thanks for this song and all you do to keep the spirit of the cowboy alive.
I never rodeoed before but this song relates to me more than you know. I separated from the navy and it was to be involved with my family instead of only being home for moments at a time. Not a day goes by i dont miss the navy. This song hits me everytime i hear it all thank you ❤️❤️
Watched him 2 years at the Houston Rodeo, Met him in Columbus,OH. Buy your tickets now, He's the next #1.
Such a moving performance and exit!! Love your singing Cody and for talking about Jesus! God bless you from the great state of Texas!!! 🙏💜
WOW and again, WOW!!
Until this evening, had never heard of Cody Johnson, but I gotta say, WOW! Definitely a new fan here. Im gonna spend the rest of the evening listening to that wonderful voice and hearing true country!! Thank you Cody, God Bless You. He sure has blessed you with some beautiful talent. WOW!
Heard him play this at Houston rodeo and it was amazing!!!! Been hooked ever since. He was so happy and put his everything into that show.
I just watched Codys documentary. Now I'm listening to this song in a whole different way. Its not necessarily about a rodeo. But a dream. Mine was baseball. And when it ended i blamed everyone and everything. Lost myself in partying and alcohol. But it wasnt them. It was me. Now i see it. I too was jaded.
this song makes me speechless. If somehow Cody reads this I hope he knows that this song deeply thrills me and makes me remember all the wonderful things in life that i love and cherish. It reminds me of my first love, baseball. Dear Cody if you do find this I would like you to know once i am able to play the guitar like i want to be able to I want to write a song about my first love baseball. I'll have you in mind with the poetic beauty of this song. God bless you.
Your fan,
Logan
Am I the only one who thinks this song could also represent a relationship with a loved one that you have lost?
it definitely has the style and words of a love song. That lost love is rodeo
He said its a love letter to the sport of rodeo
Curtis Stole now you’re gettin’ it ;)
that's the great thing about music there can always be a different meaning come out of a song we all interpret things different it's all about your prospective
OH YEAH, FOR SURE.
He’s such a smooth, but strong vocalist
I have 3 role models in life. Jesus, J.B MAUNEY for his drive and passion, and Cody Johnson for his way of talking (singing) and his lifestyle. Living my dream sir. Id give anything to pick a guitar good, sing like you, and love your life. I’m just not that fortunate.
Pure Texas Country from a real cowboy. I like how the video ends with the horse riding. I'm very proud of you Cody. Greetings from Hungary
Thank God for new “REAL” Country artist like you Cody! God am I the only person who can’t wait for him to release his next album! CoJo 24/7 lol
Cody is a real pop artist not a country artist.
Lol whaaaatever... this dude is genuine
I was there when he performed this and watching it back a year later still gives me chills. I went with my best friend and it was super last minute. It was the night of, we were going to a friend's baseball game, then got a call asking if we wanted to go. Experience of a lifetime that I will NEVER forget. Especially the part where he posted us on his Facebook!
Rodeo is a beautiful mix of humor, work, ethic, training and skill. From the Farriers, to the live stock agents, to the contestants and the fans.
I want this on the radio instead of the Pop and bro country. I hate everything about mainstream music
Stop hating on different styles of music. Every genre has it’s different styles. Just find what you like and listen to it. Stop being a little bitch. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. (Mind blowing, right?)
@@benjamingriffies5701 no its bullshit the country they play on the radio is trash. How bold of you to call someone a bitch for expressing their opinion on a site designed to express your opinion.
Radio is still a thing? I had no idea it still existed.
Devin Banfield definitely!
what would be BRO COUNTRY? Not being mean. Im just really curious about :)
Am i the only mexican that jammmms to all his sings most of day!!!! This is 100% COUNTRY MUSIC
2nd that bro
No you ain't lol
sadboy8413 negative! I’m a Mexican, and I was blessed to meet Cody back in 2014 at a beach bar in South Padre Island. He was opening for Casey Donahew, but I was there for him. Met him by himself without his band. Got to hang out with him for about an hour. He’s an amazing person. I loved his music before that moment, and after that it just made me respect him so much. Hell of a guy he is!
CoJo Nation brother...
No you aren’t
Só vem barretão ano que vem ❤🎉
This is not only a great song by CoJo, this is one of the best songs that has been released by a country artist in a long time! Looking forward to the full album release coming January 2019.
Its not country music its pop music.
I got a concussion bull riding over the summer. Have to take a few months off at least according to the neurologist. This song sums up how I feel. Keep gettin on, even when the hurt’s more than the reward. It’s worth it
I've never done rodeos, but this song still brings me chills and tears to my eyes because I can relate it to so much in life. ❤ I love CoJo
The lyrics to this song hit hard in every aspect in life, so many hard times in life. You just gotta pause your life for a minute and know what you want in life. Thank you you CODY JOHNSON for this heart felt song. When you see him drop the guitar pick you k ow that’s when you know he is going to be to be big in the business..
I am went to original job and original people and
It seems to me all the great country music is coming from the great state of Texas. Thanks
Hell yeah!
All of the great country music has always came from Oklahoma and Texas. It became, well not in my taste of music, when it was being made by them South Carolina and Tennessee people.
The Republic of Texas
@@stonebay2111 Texas trying to break away from the U.S. again? I’m sure if they actually did, Oklahoma would follow.
@@oinchadoomandwolfboy I'm sure texas would take Oklahoma with them and Oklahoma would go no problem. When it comes to politics texas is a red state and in the last election Oklahoma was fully red lmao
Brother... watching you ride the horse around the sold out arena like that. It's truly an inspiration to all the people out there pursuing their dreams. That had to have been a hell of a moment!
I cry everything I watch this video God bless you Cody Johnson, you'll always be my favorite country singer.
Escuchar la música y todo me lleva al amor quiero acordarme de su cara de su sonrisa mi alma te extraña te extraño mis ojos te extraño año tu aroma❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢
That song speaks volumes and gives me chills! Love love love ❤️
Absolutely my Daddy quit when I was born and he missed it almost every day. His buddies did too so in 1974 they got together and the first OldTimers rodeo was held in Hyannis Nebraska. This continues today nationwide as The National Senior Pro Rodeo Association.
Let’s Go Let’s Show Let’s Rodeo
It was about time this song was played on Yellowstone!!!!
One of my fav songs! I was born and raised in San Antonio, rode horses for years-English saddle-rode in 3 big parades a year, many horse show competitions and yes, rode in the rodeo. The rodeo wasn’t a competition but showing English saddle riding and what we could do without anything to hang onto! At first I was a member of a group of girls-GIRL SCOUTS! I was determined to get the Horsewoman badge…little did I know how it would change my life. I never got off after that! I’m a senior now, can’t ride anymore 🥲and do whatever I can to support Wild Mustang Rescues. (Skydog Sanctuary). I have also spoken to GirI Scout troops about dedication and the love of horses. I don’t know about you, but I have 2 artificial hips. I spent a lot of time on the ground! English saddle you hang on with your legs or you’re off on the ground!! I also have a huge love of watching bull riding! Keep singing Cody! You’re really a star!!
Damn that's bad ass! Can you imagine being that good at anything, and fans screaming for you as you ride off like that? That must be truly special.
The sound of taking a shit sounds better then this music.
Joe Mannix I assume your shit that you're talking about? If you got nothing good to say don't. You got your genre of music and we have ours. Let's keep it that way. Happy Holidays God bless
@@Robert-yf1kn haha bro you are on all of his videos what is your deal
@@user-rm8gk8gr3g The deal is this is not county music.
@@Robert-yf1kn what's country then
Seeing this live easily made for one of the best concerts I've seen yet. Always thanks the military servicemen and women, too. Class act.
Is it possible for every single one of your songs to be my “favorite” song? I love you. I just drove up to Nashville to see you last week, and you amaze me every time. Can’t wait to see you again, and I hope I can meet you some day.💙 #texan
We were there! It was mine and my fiance's first time to see him! We are now fans!
Michelle Hughes lucky you! I was there when he had just started music and would fill up a small bar in my hometown in Texas, and we would all dance to a few of his songs. Watching him grow this big makes me emotional, he is the best. Can’t wait to see him live again, I will follow this man on tour. CoJo Nation forever!!!!
Dear Cojo... been a fan since Six Strings One Dream album.. well, you've made it my man. Super proud of you and proud to be a Texan.
Bless his heart. He’s such an amazing artist! Definitely one of the best out there😍😍
Cody , you are the bomb .
I sing loud and cry to this song .
I'm not ready to say goodbye ! I have a lot more horses out there ready to kick me , bite me , knock me unconscious , slam me into shit and break my bones ..... and then look me in the eye and trust and love me .
Chin up heels down darlin' ❤❤
I have seen him twice in concert and to watch him absolutely love his fans and what he does is amazing. He reminds me so much of George Strait and The Cowboy Rides Away song. 😭😭😭
To all you that are from Texas and are around the rodeo circuits you know this hits home. We are proud of cody. We have been for along time. He may not blow up the "Nashville" radio deal but here in Texas he rocks many Saturday night radios
Amen brother. Always great to hear cojo on them Texas radio stations. From the heart of Texas we love our Cody Johnson!
Dear rodeo
I'd be lying if I tried to tell you I don't think about you
After all the miles and wild nights that we've been through
Lord knows we had a few
Dear rodeo
I'd like to say that I took the reigns and rode away
No regrets, no left unsaids, just turn the page
Awe, but you know better babe.
Between all those towns and broken bones.
The dream of a buckle I'll never put on
I'm jaded, woah, I hate it.
But, somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I'd do it all again, even though
We both know I'd still have to let you go
So dear rodeo,
I've tried like hell to tell myself it was all your fault.
I held on tight with all my might, I just
couldn't hang on.
And that's hard to hang your hat on.
Between all those towns and broken bones.
The dream of a buckle I'll never put on
I'm jaded, woah, how I hate it.
But, somehow the highs outweigh the lows and I'd do it all again, even though
We both know I'd still have to let you go
Dear rodeo,
I'd like to think you miss me too, but I know ya don't.
Aww, but that don't change the past and that dont change the truth.
I'm still in love with you
Dear rodeo.
I think he says almost had end and not all those towns but good lyrics regardless
Ems

Hello. How are you doing Elizabeth 🌹🌹
We need more Country BOYs like This in music today .. I am a huge fan !!!
I cried at the end of the video because it’s such an awesome ending and so powerful!!#CoJoNation
From the land of Tango ... Dear Rodeo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is one of those songs that even if you don't rodeo, it hits you deep for whatever passion to chase something and not being able to achieve it. Sometimes knowing its better to walk away and find a new passion to chase rather than the continued heartbreak.
Beautiful song.
Whoever reading this, God knows what you are facing through, He heard your cry, He is going to deliver you. Just trust in him. Amen!
So proud to see him come this far! Saw him and met him at Shenanigans when I was going to Sam and it’s just awesome. Texas country is real country ya’ll!
The future of country music... The future King of Country once George steps down... So glad to hear old school country music make a come back through CoJo and many others just like him. Putting American Country music back on the map!
This is pop music.
Joe Mannix you must’ve never heard pop music lmfao why you in my comments if you don’t even like the song lol
@@jordanballi7314 he's a fucktard, that's why
One of the few that still has True Country Roots
Asi es Viva el rock!
I love the movment in country music being made over the last few years. And the demand for legit music over mass produced trash. Im more partial tothe Jinks's, Ward's, Colters and cauthens bht dammit mr. Cody here knocked this out of the arena. The likes of Cody and Watson with the more 'traditional' sound... they are simply amazing. Please keep it up gentlemen. Make radio waves worth it again please.
The only problem is there is no new country music its nothing but pop music that some people what to call country music.
It good to see someone with the roots of real country music
I remember this night like it was yesterday, I loved the performance, the set was great. Cody seems like a very down to earth type of person, very appreciative of his fans and the opportunity to be doing this. I hope one day I'll have the opportunity to meet and have a conversation with Cody Johnson
Allen you are spot on, met him last July, great guy very down to earth. We joked about my cap, one of his, said it was his favorite style, wore it until they put his name on it, than he kind a shrugged and said "can't wear no cap with my own name on it...I laughed and said what about Cole Swindell, he does? He got a big old smile on his face and laughed..."don't get me started man!" is all he said. Really special that he took the time to talk and be real with my wife and I.
Dear God,
Please let my "Rodeo" be headed back MY way. I need this love. All I ask Lord. I NEED THIS LOVE.
IN JESUS NAME.
AMEN
Hello there Jamie nice meeting you here
Absolutely gives me chills to the bones. Absolutely living my dream.
This song is SO AMAZING !!! I KNOW SO MANY RODEO COWBOYS .. YOU NAILED IT ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This song makes me think about my baseball career, I absolutely loved the sport in high school, thought I was going to play forever... This song struck a chord in me because I feel the same way, I'll always love that game. Thanks CoJo💙
Tive o prazer de estar na festa de Barretos, e seu show foi demais, que banda é essa, parabéns 👏👏👏👏
We laid my buddy Dustin “Duck” pratt to rest today... he was just 26 years old... cancer took his life... my other buddy performed this song at his funeral. It was one of ducks favorite songs.. for him the rodeo was drag racing.. cancer took everything from him including his ability to race and eventually his life. Great song
Sorry for your loss man 😞
Sorry for your loss my friend
Sorry for your loss❤️
I get that too I raced mud bog racing , barrel racing with jeeps, toyotas,four wheelers and horses so i get it . sorry for your friends loss may he rest in peace and glad you played the song he loved at his funneral kudos to you all..
A year or more later, rest in peace
Que música 😍😍
He has such an amazing voice, everything he sings sounds Amazing!
I miss everyday of it.. Loved it. Prayers to all roughneck boys still getting it.. Have Safe Journey..
No matter how many times I listen to this country song this always gives me chills. God bless Cody Johnson 🙏
Ughhhh the raw emotion you put into this song has made ME emotional. Yes Cody, you're bringing country back ❤

I was behind on getting to hear this song as I only heard it nearly a week ago, but it's my new victory song.😎
I guess i'm the only italian who loves Cody and country music, i feel this music as mine, i do not why, it's just a feeling, i never been in the states, but i feel in my blood the country. Without an explanation, and i never ride a horse, but a like it… like we say "Boh"...
Música maravilhosa! Saudades de Barretos! ♥♥♥♥♥
This is an unbelievable story of CoJo and the documentary bout this song was amazing 🤘🏻
From heartbreak to a grand welcome home. Thanks Cody ... Full circles are a great thing.
I got so many shivers when he got on the horse, wow.
Love everything this man stands for!!! HIS LOVE for music and his FAMILY amazes me. He doesn't have any bad songs!!! 🙏❤🙏❤🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Own that song brother!! Love those words. Keep doin' it the way you're doin' it.
It blows my mind that this was a live performance. It sounds just like the studio version, but that just adds more credit to his vocal ability!
