Modern Day Romance

We met on the highway, she flagged me down,\nHad a flat on her stingray with nobody around\nI helped her out, she said climb in So I ditched my ol truck just to see where the party would end.\nWe spent the weekend in reno in the honeymoon suite,\nNever saw the casino, barely took time to eat.\nI never dreamed she would take me this far\nBut by sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.\nIt’s a modern day romance, a new kind of game\nWith no time to slow dance in the fast lane.\nI tried to love her without any strings\nBut a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pain.\nShe never said good-bye, just a note by the phone\nSaid «thanks for the good times, but it’s time to move on.»\nWell I’m out here walkin' with my thumb in the air\nWondering where she might’ve gone and why I even care.\nIt’s a modern day romance; old fashioned pain
