| Two young lovers on a Blytheville back road |
| Laying on the levee makin' love all night long |
| Wishing 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 |
| 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 |
| When they were lost, lost in love in a Delta dreamland |
| Yes, they were lost, lost in love in a Delta dreamland |
| 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 |
| 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 in a Delta dreamland |
| Yes, they were lost, lost in love in a Delta dreamland |
| Two young lovers on a Blytheville back road |
| Laying on the levee makin' love all night long Yeah Yeah |
