Delta Dreamland Lyrics

Delta Dreamland



(Deborah Allen / Rafe VanHoy)



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
