I’d give you the whole world if you would take it from me

[vocals: raw male country vocal, untrained voice, strained emotional delivery with occasional voice cracks] [intro: quiet fingerpicked acoustic guitar, porch recording atmosphere] Hey… [verse] We drove all night from that little dirt road town Just to see them big city lights looking down You leaned on the rail like you’d found something new And I just stood there looking at you You said you could live in a place like this Where the nights stay bright and the streets don’t miss I smiled but girl I didn’t say much Just watched your hand sitting close to my touch [chorus: raw emotional delivery] This whole town could be yours If you wanted it to be Everything out there As far as we can see I’d give you the whole world… [break: long pause] If you would take it from me But girl the only thing That matters to me Is you standing here With me I don’t need a big fancy place Those Dallas lights ain’t my finish line Any place with you Is my home [vulnerable vocals: cracked voice] Baby I just want To go home with you [verse] You asked me what I see from up here tonight All them tall buildings shining bright I said girl I ain’t looking at all that view Truth is I’m just looking at you Maybe someday you’ll want something more A big city life with a big front door But wherever you go Is where I’ll be Long as you’re somewhere Next to me [chorus: stronger emotional strain] This whole town could be yours If you wanted it to be Everything out there As far as we can see I’d give you the whole world… [break: emotional pause] If you would take it from me But girl the only thing That matters to me Is you standing here With me I don’t need a big fancy place Those Dallas lights ain’t my finish line Any place with you Is my home Baby I just want To go home with you [bridge: stripped emotional confession] I could live in a hole in the ground somewhere If I woke up and you were there Truth is girl I don’t need much Just your hand and your touch [outro: nearly whispered, emotional] Any place with you Is my home Baby I just want …to go home with you
