Two young lovers on a Blytheville backroad Laying on the levee makin' love all night long Wishin' on a star in a southern sky Dreaming out loud about the rest of their lives They were lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland Yes they were lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland
She worked all day at the old shirt factory thinking bout the boy that made her happy Across the street at the hardware store he was busy reliving the night before They were lost lost in love...
She was seventeen and he was twenty When they left their home for the land of plenty Times were tough but they made it through They lived to see their dreams come true yeah yeah [ guitar ] The years rolled by like river water they said goodbye to three grown daughters Together all alone again just like they started way back when They were lost lost in love... Yeah yeah hey hey lost lost in love in a Delta dreamland Two young lovers on a Blytheville backroad Laying on the levee makin' love all night long
