Why Do You Do It To Us Lyrics

Underneath that willow tree we carved our names in bark

Swore our love was evergreen even in the dark

City lights and rural nights we've seen every view

But girl now you're asking more I don't know what to do

We danced down the gravel roads kissed by the river bend

Dreams we wove with fishing line thought they'd never end

You wore my grandpa's ring and smiled like sweet July

But here we are tangled up questioning the why

Why do you do it to us girl can't you see

You've already got the best of me

Love's a simple melody but marriage ain't so free

Why do you do it to us girl can't you see

Your daddy says a wedding's due the town waits for our call

First Baptist Church the preacher too dressed in Sunday's all

I know you want that white dress the vows beneath the sky

But somehow I'm a wanderer not ready to comply

Those fairytale romances look fine in the daylight

But life ain't always roses sometimes there's a fight

I love you more than all the words in every country song

But signing on that dotted line feels like something's wrong

Why do you do it to us girl can't you see

You've already got the best of me

Love's a simple melody but marriage ain't so free

Why do you do it to us girl can't you see
