Dixie Highway Band - I Call It Love lyrics

rate me

(Steve G. Jones, Justin Reynolds, Brian Jones)

1st Verse

It was the summer of 1993

And I carved your name in a big oak tree

I wanted the world to know my love was true

And I bought a star from the astronomy guide

Remember you laughed until you cried

It cost fifty bucks but I named it after you

You had my picture on the dash of your car, and I had your name tattooed on my arm

Call it what you will, I call it love

2nd Verse

I remember skinny dipping in Lawson's Pond

And your daddy caught us in each others' arms

I know I haven't talked that fast since then

He took you with him along with my clothes

And I walked naked all the way home

You promised him you'd never see me again

You slipped out of the house later on

And we watched the sun rise over that pond

Call it what you will, I call it love

Chorus:

What else but love could make us do such things like

Buying a set of wedding rings

And making love in the bed of my old truck

Call it what you will, I call it love

3rd Verse:

This morning when I was getting ready for work

I found a note in the pocket of my shirt

With I love you written over and over again

It made me think about all those years

All of the smiles and all of the tears

How lucky we are to have a love like this

I just climbed right back in that bed

And held you close to me and said

Call it what you will, I call it love

Chorus:

What else but love could make us do such things like

Calling in sick when we're feeling great

Even though we know our paychecks are never enough

Call it what you will, I call it love

Solo

Chorus:

What else but love could make us do such things like

Buying a set of wedding rings

Even though we know our paychecks are never enough

Call it what you will, I call it love

Hey baby, Call it what you will, I call it love

I call it love
