When the curtain goes up, and we're in your town
When the band starts up, and I hear that sound
A chill runs up my spine, and puts a smile on my face
And nothing in this whole wide world could ever take its place
I sing my songs, from the bottom of my heart
I do the best I can do, and you're doin' your part
And you know I owe you, for giving me the chance to try
I wanna thank you for givin' me what money can't buy
'Cause money can't buy this love I'm feelin' when I open up to you
Money can't buy this thrill I'm stealin' when I sing my songs for you
And I could never pay you back no matter how hard I try
'Cause you've given me everything money can't buy
I make a good livin', and I made myself a name
Got a good thing goin', a little fortune and fame
But when I sing for you, oh what a feelin' inside
I wanna thank you for givin' me what money can't buy
'Cause money can't buy this love I'm feelin' when I open up to you
Money can't buy this thrill I'm stealin' when I sing my songs for you
And I could never pay you back no matter how hard I try
'Cause you've given me everything money can't buy
