We met on the highway, she flagged me down

Had a flat on her Stingray, with nobody around

Never saw the casinos, barely took time to eat.

             Em      C                      G   C
Well I never dreamed she would take me that far.

       G                    C                  G
But by Sunday that lady had taken a hold of my heart.

It's just a modern day romance, a new kind of game

                D                            G
With no time to slow dance.......in the fast lane.

Well I tried to love her without any strings

She never said goodbye, just a note by the phone

                       C                                G   
It said thanks for the good time, but it's time to move on.

 G                             C                   G 
Wondering where she might have gone and why I even care
