Dixie Highway Band - I Call It Love Lyrics

(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
