Lyrics
I Call It Paradise
7 miles out of Ivanhoe
down a twisty blacktop road
there?s a little lakefront cottage
where the sunset makes the water shine like gold
it shines just like gold in the evening
when the breeze takes a rest
and the lake looks like glass
and the bass come rising for the flies
I call it Paradise
7 miles out of Ivanhoe
down a twisty blacktop road
there?s a 7 horsepower Johnson
on a little boat that can barely stay afloat
but I can bail fast enough to beat the water
round here it?s Catch-and-Release
I cast towards the east
Just to keep the setting sun out of my eyes
I call it Paradise
I call it Paradise
Pot of gold, the rainbow?s end
I call it Paradise
And I only share it with my closest friend
7 miles out of Ivanhoe
down a twisty blacktop road
she waits down at the dock
to make my boat fast when I pass her the rope
and her hair shines like gold in the evening
skin touches skin
we both begin to grin
and a new light rises in her eyes
I call it Paradise.
