Modern Day Romance (1985)
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 me old truck just to see where the party would end

We spent the weekend in Reno in a honeymoon suite
Never saw the casinos barely took time to eat
Well I never dreamed she would take me that far
But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart

It's just a modern day romance a new kind of game
With no time to slow dance in the fast lane
Well I tried to love her without any strings

But a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pains

She never said goodbye just a note by the phone
It said thanks for the good time but it's time to move on
Now I'm out here walking with my thumb in the air
Wondering where she might have 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
Well I tried to love her without any strings
But a modern day romance has left me some old-fashioned pains
Yes a modern day romance old-fashioned pain
