Buy This Town
.
If I could buy this town
I’d keep it small and rough
Full of third shift dreamers
And high school love
.
I’d keep the Church of Christ
And the bowling alley open
Where the bud light signs
Crackle while they’re glowing
If I could buy this town
.
If I could buy one night
I wouldn’t buy the one you’d think
I’d buy the one when my eyes teared up
By the light above the kitchen sink
.
And you held me tight
And you begged me not to cry
If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss
Well that’s the one I’d buy
If I could buy one night
.
All the money in the world
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love could it?
And it really shouldn’t, should it?
If I could buy the stars
I’d polish them so bright
.
If I could buy your pain
First I’d buy the great big sea
And I’d put that pain inside a box
And bury it so deep
.
If I could I’d buy you back
The years you worked yourself to death
I would buy and waste your suffering
Until there wasn’t any left
If I could buy your pain
.
All the money in the world
Couldn’t buy a drop of real love could it?
And it really shouldn’t, now should it
But I’d gladly give you every piece of my whole heart
.
If I could buy this town
I'd keep the Friday night bleachers
Full of kids falling in love
And unlikely believers
.
And the firefighters are there
Cuz their kid’s in the game
And we don’t win too often
But that ain’t why we came
If I could buy this town
.
