G C G
We met on the highway, she flagged me down
C G C G
Had a flat on her Stingray, with nobody around
Em C G C
So I helped her out, she said climb in
G D C D G
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'd take me that far.
But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.
G C G
It's just a modern day romance, a new kind of game
D G C G
With no time to slow dance in the fast lane.
C G C
Well I tried to love her without any strings
G D C D G
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.
