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
