Recently, Cody Johnson took home Album of the Year at the CMA Awards for his record Leather. Afterwards, he takes to the press room and profusely thanks his wife Brandi for staying with him on his journey. "If it wasn't for Brandi, I wouldn't be here.

Additionally, Johnson highlights one of his lyrics that properly conveys the love he has for his wife. Moreover, he says it's the key to such a fruitful relationship like the one they have. "My favorite lyric in 'The Painter' is 'for every wall I built, she saw a canvas.' If there's anything that describes my marriage with my wife, Brandi, it's that line," Cody says. And that's why we've been together for 15 years. I hope my fans are encouraged to take the time to appreciate the people they have around them."
The ones who make their life beautiful and bring all the beautiful colors to their world when it could just be black and white and dark. Remember them and tell them you love them," Cody concludes in his speech.
