True Love

Rag-tag Billy rode down a dusty road
Made his bicycle fly
He smiled when he saw Zola
Through the kitchen window
And whistled to catch her eye

A skinny girl in hand-me-down cotton
He’d never much noticed before
Now her daddy said, “That boy
He’s been comin’ round so often
His heart’s hangin’ by the door”

Lookin’ for true love, true love
Is it written in the stars above
Is it meant to be, can a man like me
Really know the secrets of a true love

Billy rode shotgun with Zola’s brother Fred
Driving home from the dance
She was in the back seat
With a boy named Roy
Billy reached back and held her hand

Lookin’ for a true love, true love
Is it written in the stars above
If it’s meant to be what about you and me
Let’s find the secrets of true love

In a green, green valley
Down an old dusty road
Where the mountain stream goes rollin’ by
The children have grown, the time has flown
Still he gazes into her eyes

Lookin’ for true love, true love
Is it written in the stars above
If it’s meant to be, what about you and me
Let’s find the secrets of
Of a true love
