Lyrics

She had the longest hair I'd ever seen
Her daddy got stationed down in New Orleans
She walked into church one day with a flower in her hair
There wasn't a thing that could break my stare
Two years later and two thousand miles away
My family moved to that west coast golden state
Letters turned into calling cards we'd stay up all night
Man it just felt so right
Four minutes left at four AM yeah we talked all night
Praying the minutes wouldn't run out before we said goodbye
Trying to find the words to say how we felt inside
Falling in love one phone call at a time
With this brown eyed girl of mine
I bought a ticket for a one way greyhound back to my hometown
I got off the bus two days later and set my luggage down
There she was with that long brown hair we held each other tight
Man we got tangled up that night
Four minutes left at four AM yeah we talked all night
Praying the minutes wouldn't run out before we said goodbye
Trying to find the words to say how we felt inside
Falling in love one phone call at a time
With this brown eyed girl of mine
21 years and two kids later
I think about those nights
I still have every letter
And it still feels so right
I thank God for calling cards
And corded telephones
And greyhound bus drivers
That take us home
Four minutes left at four AM yeah we talked all night
Praying the minutes wouldn't run out before we said goodbye
Trying to find the words to say how we felt inside
Falling in love one phone call at a time
With this brown eyed girl of mine
Falling in love one phone call at a time
With this brown eyed girl of mine
