I Call It Love - Mel McDaniel, Oklahoma Wind

Two young kids, a night in May

A country road and a Chevrolet

Beneath the summer moon

Almost a woman, almost a ma

Things like this get out of hand

Seventeen and that’s too soon

You can call it youth and blame it on the night

You can call it life and say that it’s not right

You can call it foolish, blame it on the stars above

Call it what you want, I call it love

Blood runs high and wrong or right

They lose their heads and run off one night

And what’s done can’t be undone

Thinking life’s an easy thing

A borrowed dress and a wedding ring

Eighteen and that’s too young

You can call it youth and blame it on the night

You can call it life and say that it’s not right

You can call it foolish, blame it on the stars above

Call it what you want, I call it love

Time goes on and in a while

It’s a rented room and a month-old child

And they’re down to just getting by

It’s hard to last when life’s that way

People shake their heads and say

They won’t make it, ah, but they might

You can call it youth and blame it on the night

You can call it life and say that it’s not right

You can call it foolish, blame it on the stars above

Call it what you want, I call it love, I call it love
