I looked over the balcony Rising from the sea Sunshine coming overhead The sky lit up like a cigarette I didn't even go to sleep When it was coming over me I thought I saw you on the street again You were walking with a new friend All my life there's been one thing True love True love So I drive down to the county line I watch as ladies pull their skirts so high Hips are swinging in that heavenly strut Hustlin' down the corners of the you-know-what I'm picking up vibrations I can feel it in my blood I think I died of dehydration When I was waiting on the flood True love True love True love They call me Mr. Serious But I got so many dreams Cocktail criminals and parking lot dames I dressed arrived like jesse james Straddle in the saddle Baby's got a six gun rattle I keep it underneath my coat Cause death rattles in my throat I've got just one red rose Everybody knows True love True love True love True love True love True love
