• Bill & Annie

We stopped for peaches at a little roadside stand
Man said his name was Bill, I said "I'm Chuck and this is Annie"
He said Annie was the one & only true love of his life
They met at his wedding but by then he had a wife

It was during the reception in the Spring of '64
She, his newlywed's best friend, followed him out the ballroom door
Maybe his ring got smaller, maybe his finger swelled
Maybe he'd made a big mistake, and maybe time would tell

Bill asked, "Do you feel what I feel?" and Annie said, "I do"
Bill was at a loss, wondering now what should he do
He did what he had to, he'd just taken a wife
She would take good care of him for the rest of her life

Bill & Annie fought the urge, they saw each other often
She was there in black the day Bill's wife lay in her coffin
By then she'd gotten married, by then she'd moved away
She'd asked Bill for his blessings and he'd said it was ok

Bill said, "Taste the peaches," and he cut us each a slice
They were a little on the small side, but they sure tasted nice
"Do you think I did the right thing?" Bill asked, though I knew he knew
So I answered with a question, I asked him, "Bill, do you?"

Bill said, "Annie, pleased to meet you, it was nice to meet you Chuck"
And Annie & I, we drove away in Annie's pick-up truck
With a box of twenty peaches, a homegrown tomato too
And a couple of things to think about, and every now and then I do...I do
