Hello midwestrailfan,

We see you need help with a ringtone that was a song you purchased through iTunes. You may need to purchase that as a ringtone, not as a song. Start with guidance from this resource: Get ringtones, text tones, and alert tones in the iTunes Store on iPhone

Buy new tones

1. In the iTunes Store, tap More, then tap Tones.

2. Browse by category or tap Search to find a specific song or artist.

3. Tap a tone to see more information or play a preview.

4. To buy a tone, tap the price.

The article that linked you here is helpful with further guidance: Use tones and ringtones with your iPhone or iPad

We'd recommend going to the iTunes Store app on your iPhone to see if that song has a ringtone specific file to download and try that.

Best regards.
