"Talk To This Town" lyrics

If I could talk to this town
And sit it down for a round or two
I'd take a short drive to those Friday night lights
Out by the high school
And we'd go on an on about
How I was young and dumb
And learning how to let her go
Oh, that was years ago

But I still wish she was mine
Still wish we were eighteen
Watching days go by
Stuck in a teenage daydream
Now I'm left here all alone
Why can't you bring her back home?
That's what I'd be saying right now
If I could talk to this town

If I could talk to this town
I'd blame it for more stars than she could count
Too many dirt roads
Not enough red lights to slow her down
I'd ask you to tug on her heart strings
Turn those headlights back towards me
You know I can't do that
But I'd have to ask

But I still wish she was mine
Still wish we were eighteen
Watching days go by
Stuck in a teenage daydream
Now I'm left here all alone
Why can't you bring her back home?
That's what I'd be saying right now
If I could talk to this town, yeah

Oh

I still wish she was mine
Still wish we were eighteen
Watching days go by
Stuck in a teenage daydream
Now I'm left here all alone
Why can't you bring her back home?
That's what I'd be saying right now
Girl, you know just what we'd be talking about
If I could talk to this town

Girl, if I could talk to this town
And sit it down for a round or two
I'd talk a lot about you
