As Cody Johnson sang his hit song “‘Til You Can’t” at the CMAs on November 9, fans took to Twitter to express their emotions. “‘Til You Can’t’ by @codyjohnson changed lives over the last year,” one person tweeted. “It’s that kind of special song and resonates with country fans across every single platform.” Another person tweeted that the lyric, “If you got a dream chase it, ’cause a dream won’t chase you back,” got them feeling all emotional. And another fan tweeted about how that line resonates with Johnson’s career path.
The country music singer admitted to being the kind of person who loves action and adventure, which is why he got into bull riding in his teen years. “I saw a challenge, and I wanted to accomplish it,” he told Billboard. “I had just enough of a taste of it to keep me going, and I really never expected to fail.” But the dreams of being a bull rider fell short when he couldn’t muster up the money to pursue it, so he turned to music.
