Desiree had married a man twice her age
he had lots of money but a heart filled with rage
and in a big shiny car that he had bought her
she picked up her lover & went down to the water

And in the back seat of a black Chevy
they made love by the river's levy
she said you & I belong together
we'll make love forever and ever

In these small small towns well you know how rumors fly
when Desiree's husband heard - he thought that he would spy
so he followed her down to the river side
peeking through the shadows he looked inside

And in the back seat of a black Chevy
they made love by the river's levy
she said you & I belong together
we'll make love forever and ever

When morning came and the two could not be found
her husband shed a tear and said "they must have left town"
but three years later when a barge pulled away
hooked to the anchor was a ghost from yesterday

And in the back seat of a black Chevy
were the long lost lovers from the river's levy
their hands & feet were tied together
may they rest in peace now forever and ever

And in he back seat of a black Chevy
they made love by the river's levy
she said you & I belong together
we'll make love forever and ever
