Modern Day Romance

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 old 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 this 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

And 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
