Opinion on Love Songtext

von Mac McAnally

Well he met her in the winter of the 7th grade
And he swore that they were in love
And he held her hand in an oak tree shade
At the time that was enough
And they stood and they kissed for a minute
And he saw her three times a week
And it made him feel so good he could not speak
And the strength that grew between them made him weak
So he left her in the summer of his junior year
When he felt a little more secure
And when the sun came out and all the legs appeared
He might love her but he couldnt be sure
Till he chased the ones that were the tannest
And he took all that he could find
And I used to sit and talk to him sometimes
And I asked him once what made him change his mind
He told me when the Missisippi sun shines down on you brother
It'll change your opinion on love
You can try for sure
But one way or another
It'll change your opinion on love
Well he changed his mind by the very next fall
And he asked her and they reconciled
And he said he didnt want to waste time at all
So they married and they had a child
And he told her that hed stay forever
And he loved her every chance he got
And he said a lot of things that he later on forgot
And he wanted her to be things that she was not
Ah when youre tied to one and the preacher says brother
It'll have to be enough
You get tired of one and one way or another
It'll change your opinion on love
Well he was scared to leave when his love went down
But he knew that he could not stay
So he found him a job working out of town
And hes putting it off that way
And he finds a girl in Atlanta
And he loves her every chance he gets
And he says a lot of things that I hope he wont forget
But he knows a lot of things that he hasnt remembered yet
Ah and when youre sitting in the shade
Thinking you got it made
And you swear that you are in love
Hold off for a second
Cause anything I reckon
Can change your opinion on love
Dont be swearing on the bible
Cause anythings liable
To change your opinion on love
