"Love Like Crazy" is a song written by Tim James and Doug Johnson, and recorded by American country music artist Lee Brice. It was released in August 2009 as the fourth single of his career, and the first single and title track from his album Love Like Crazy. In September 2010, the song broke a record established by Eddy Arnold for the longest chart run in the history of the Hot Country Songs charts.
"Love Like Crazy" is a mid-tempo country song that gives a short biography of an older man, in which he takes several large risks criticized by those around him as "crazy" (such as quitting his job in order to go into computers). All of these seemingly questionable decisions end up paying off. In the chorus, the old man explains that his success was made possible by his faithful and loving wife; he then describes the rules of life that made his marriage as successful as it was.
Brice told Country Weekly that he chose to record the song because its storyline reminded him of his own grandmother and grandfather, who were married to each other for more than 50 years.[3]
