Lori McKenna - Buy This Town Lyrics


Lori McKenna Lyrics

Buy This Town Lyrics
If I could buy this town,
I'd keep it small and rough,
Full of 3rd 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
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
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,should it
But I'd gladly give you every piece
Of my whole heart...

If I could buy this town,
I 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...
