"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
