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

You are gifted Lori. How Romantic Is That is an all-time fav song of mine too. Best love song. You still kill me with your writing. You are a special soul...feels like you write everything I feel to a t...your way with words is so REAL yet so NOT ordinary. Thank you. You're extraordinary and underrated. I would cut ALL your songs if I was a big label singer! Lol. Don't ever stop writing bc you are irreplaceable. I think every song you write makes me cry. Ha! Love u girl!!
