Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm just a country boy with a simple song
Wondering, "Why can't we all just get along?"
I know people are crazy, hell, I am too
Today, this hit me while watching the news
[Chorus]
If I could buy the world a round or two
We'd be laughing and drinking, might be whiskey wishful thinking
But if I could buy the world a round or three
There wouldn't be a heart or glass half-empty
And at least for a while, we'd all share a smile
This honky tonk could be our common ground
If I could buy the world a round
[Verse 2]
Well, the cowboys and bikers, the rednecks and hippies
The saints and the sinners, the righties and lefties
I'd bring 'em all together, I'd show 'em a good time
They'd probably give me that Nobel Peace Prize
[Chorus]
If I could buy the world a round or two
We'd be laughing and drinking, might be whiskey wishful thinking
But if I could buy the world a round or three
There wouldn't be a heart or glass half-empty
And at least for a while, we'd all share a smile
This honky tonk could be our common ground
If I could buy the world a round
[Bridge]
It's gonna be one heck of a tab buying a couple billion beers
I might need a loan from y'all, cheers
[Chorus]
If I could buy the world a round or two
We'd be laughing and drinking, might be whiskey wishful thinking
But if I could buy the world a round or three
There wouldn't be a heart or glass half-empty
And at least for a while, we'd all share a smile
This honky tonk could be our common ground
And we could all sing along to a Willie Nelson song
We'd throw 'em back instead of throwing down
If I could buy the world a round or two
[Outro]
Yeah, if I could buy the world a round or three, or four
Yeah, if I could buy the world a round
