Third Rate Romance
Sammy Kershaw
Sitting at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant
She was staring at her coffee cup
He was trying to keep his courage up
By applying booze
Talk was small when they talked at all
They both knew what they wanted
There was no need to talk about it
They were old enough to scope it out
And keep it loose
She said, "You don't look like my type, but I guess you'll do"

And he said, "I'll even tell you that I love you if you want me to"

When they left the bar, they got in his car and they drove away
He drove to the Family Inn
She didn't even have to pretend
She didn't know what for
He went to the desk and made his request while she waited outside
Then he came back with the key
She said give it to me
And I'll unlock the door
She kept sayin, "I've never really done this kind of thing before. Have you?"

And he said, "Yes, I have, but only a time or two"
