Buy This Town-Lori McKenna

[00:07.23]. [00:08.67]If I could buy this town [00:11.80]I’d keep it small and rough [00:15.30]Full of third shift dreamers [00:19.04]And high school love [00:21.05]. [00:21.98]I’d keep the Church of Christ [00:25.36]And the bowling alley open [00:28.92]Where the bud light signs [00:32.37]Crackle while they’re glowing [00:35.95]If I could buy this town [00:40.96]. [00:45.72]If I could buy one night [00:48.84]I wouldn’t buy the one you’d think [00:51.96]I’d buy the one when my eyes teared up [00:55.16]By the light above the kitchen sink [00:58.34]. [00:59.10]And you held me tight [01:02.46]And you begged me not to cry [01:05.41]If I could buy the sweetness of one kiss [01:09.47]Well that’s the one I’d buy [01:12.74]If I could buy one night [01:17.61]. [01:23.54]All the money in the world [01:25.93]Couldn’t buy a drop of real love could it? [01:29.80]And it really shouldn’t, should it? [01:33.11]If I could buy the stars [01:35.55]I’d polish them so bright [01:41.91]. [01:46.59]If I could buy your pain [01:49.65]First I’d buy the great big sea [01:53.47]And I’d put that pain inside a box [01:56.85]And bury it so deep [01:59.15]. [01:59.97]If I could I’d buy you back [02:02.78]The years you worked yourself to death [02:06.66]I would buy and waste your suffering [02:10.15]Until there wasn’t any left [02:13.40]If I could buy your pain [02:18.22]. [02:24.28]All the money in the world [02:26.71]Couldn’t buy a drop of real love could it? [02:30.46]And it really shouldn’t, now should it [02:33.53]But I’d gladly give you every piece of my whole heart [02:40.80]. [02:54.17]If I could buy this town [02:57.29]I'd keep the Friday night bleachers [03:00.74]Full of kids falling in love [03:03.73]And unlikely believers [03:06.66]. [03:07.56]And the firefighters are there [03:10.94]Cuz their kid’s in the game [03:14.24]And we don’t win too often [03:17.81]But that ain’t why we came [03:21.50]If I could buy this town [03:26.74].
