Can't Afford to Love You

Can't Afford to Love You - Blake Shelton

I saw you sitting there sipping red wine

Down at Causen Mills

I knew you'd probably be outta my league

But I thought what the hell

Aw what the hell

Five dollars a glass was kicking my butt

But I kept on buying

I kinda thought you were into me

So I kept on trying to get them sparks a flying

In my forty dollar blue jeans

Next to a beauty queen

Used to the finer things

All I had to my name was a big ol' truck

And a little ol' place

I couldn't help but think

I can't afford to love you

But I can't afford not to

I asked you if you ever stared up

At the stars from a tailgate

Down by the river with a six pack

You said "No" but it sure sounds great

You climbed up in my old truck

Sitting right beside me

I cranked up a country song

And you started smiling

Yeah this ol' boy was styling

In forty dollar blue jeans

Next to a beauty queen

Used to the finer things

I missed work for three days

Kissing on you didn't get paid

I couldn't help but think

I can't afford to love you but I can't afford not to

We been together ever since that night

You're still in love with that same old guy

That same old guy

In my forty dollar blue jeans

Next to a beauty queen

Used to the finer things

Yeah we set a date for next spring

Working two jobs picking out rings

I can't help but think I can't afford to love you

I can't afford to love you but I can't afford not to

I can't afford not to love on you
