Modern Day Romance - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Written by：BROOKS/Tyler

We met on the highway

She flagged me down

Had a flat on her stingray

With nobody around

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 the 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

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
