Arthur And Alice

(álbum: Blue Highway - 1984)

Arthur and Alice played shuffleboard
Down in Denington today
Then they packed the best picnic they could afford
And drove down by old Tampa Bay

Forty-nine years on assembly lines
Way back up Michigan way
Now they're in a trailer, ain't far of the pines
Arthur and Alice are doing OK

Arthur and Alice make love every night
Love in their own special way
Sometimes by just holding each other tight
Hoarding dreams of yesterday

But then sometimes they still love a good storm
Just like on their wedding day

Way down where even the winters are warm
Arthur and Alice are doing OK

Arthur and Alice have seven grand kids
In Ann Arbor and in LA
They'll come to visit, last winter they did
A Busch Gardens Disney World day

Poor Arthur, he's got a bad heart and she's nearly blind
At least that's what doctors say
But his heart's full of love and she reads his mind
Arthur and Alice, Arthur and Alice are doing OK
