"Modern Day Romance"

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

We met on the highway,

she flagged me down,

Had a flat on her Stingray

with nobody around

So I helped her out, she said climb in

So I ditched my ol truck just to

see where the party would end.

We spent the weekend in Reno

in a honeymoon suite,

Never saw the casino,

barely took time to eat.

I never dreamed she

would take me that far

But by Sunday that lady had

taken a hold of my heart.

It's a modern day romance,

a new kind of game

With no time to slow dance

in the fast lane.

I tried to love her ,without any strings

But a modern day romance has

left me some old fashioned pain.

She never said good bye,

just a note by the phone

Said ";thanks for the good times,

but it's time to move on.";

Well I'm out here walkin'

with my thumb in the air

Wondering where she might've

gone and why I even care.

It's just a modern day romance,

a new kind of game

With no time to slow dance

in the fast lane.

I tried to love her ,without any strings

But a modern day romance has

left me some old fashioned pain

It's a modern day romance;

old fashioned pain
