Lyrics

(What I Call) Romance

by Jay Raymond and Joe Kozak

V1:
I Rolled Up To Her House At A Quarter To Eight
Thought I'd Take Her To A Movie On Our Very First Date
I Met Her Ma And Pa And His Shotgun
He Said "Welcome To The Family" And Then He Called Me "Son"

We Were Drivin' Down The Road She Said 'Turn Here'
I Hit That Dirt Road Spinnin' And I Almost Hit A Deer
A Smile On Her Face, She Said She Wanted More
I Cranked That Music Up and Put The Pedal To The Floor

Chorus:
When The Night Started I Thought I Had A Plan
I Thought She'd Go Crazy For A Sharp Dressed Man
She Said "I Don't Like The Movies And I Don't Like To Dance
'Cause Driving Through The Mud Is What I Call Romance"

V2:
We Got Stuck Out In The Mud By The Lake That Night
Out There All Alone, Not A Soul In Sight
I Reached For My Phone To Call For A Tow
She Grabbed My Fishin' Pole And Said 'Let's Go!'
Walking To The Lake, Little Did I Know
She'd Roll Her Jeans Up And Let Her Tattoo Show
I Was Thinkin To Myself 'Damn, She Looks So Fine
With That Sexy Smile As She's Baiting Up The Line'

Chorus:
When I Asked Her Out, I Had Her All Wrong
She Let It All Hang Out With A Rock And Roll Song
She Said "I Kind Of Like You, And You May Have A Chance
If Fishin' In The Moonlight Is What You Call Romance"

[phone call:] 'Yeah?'

"I'm stuck in the mud down at the lake .. can you give me a tow ..in about an hour or two?"

Bridge:
Knee Deep In The Water
Man That Girl Is Fine
She's Takin Care Of Business
And I'm Thinking Overtime
A Watchin' & A Waitin'
Just Lookin For A Sign
She Turned Around And Kissed Me
Then I Knew She Was Mine, Yeah

V3:
It Always Seemed To Me That Every Girl I Met
Was Always Hard To Please And Easy To Forget
It Took A Special Woman To Turn My World Around
I Guess You Never Know Where Your Romance Will Be Found

Chorus:
When I Asked Her Out I Had Her All Wrong
Little Did I Know We Sang The Same Old Song
We Don't Like The Movies And We Don't Like To Dance
'Cause Washin Down The Truck Is What We Call Romance
Running In The Moonlight And Kickin' Off Our Pants
Midnight Skinny Dippin Is What We Call Romance
She Overhauls My Engine At Every Given Chance
Cause' Workin With Our Tools Is What We Call Romance
