Appeared on Slim Possibilies

(David Munyon/S.P. Standley)

There is a space between Arkadelphia, Alabama and Arkansas City, Kansas, where you can drive free cars and play any kind of music you wish to.

Bonnie and Clyde drive an Oldsmobile

through their parish in Delphia

The Commodores on the radio sing a song

about a love for us

all across these city streets

we seem at peace for lunch

then Saturdays embarrasment arises as we munch

as time goes by... true love never dies

as time goes by... true love never dies

Tarzan an' Jane ride the Amtrack train

on promotion an' touring

Tarzan says I believe this song is absurd

but alluring

at the house that evening

Janes is mending old blue jeans

an' silently the jungle calls

with drummers beckoning

as time goes by... true love never dies

as time goes by... true love never dies

Delphia, Oh Delphia, help me with this rhyme

Delphia, Oh Delphia, I love to share

your precious time

precious time... so precious...

Thumbs Carlile has a style of playing, all his own

life at sea, 'bout wore him out

but all is fine you know

I still have this ticket stub from a recent benefit

an' a real fine record I found

with his special guest ol' Chester

as time goes by... true love never dies

as time goes by... true love never dies
