midwestern romance

pickup truck
on a two-bit stretch
he’s got a rose in the cab
it’s been exactly
a month since they met
it’s the best month they’ve ever had
it’s a —

midwestern romance
at the drive-in show
or the local dance
it’ll roll like thunder, no word in advance
midwestern romance

parking brake
and the front yard gate
the basset that snores in his sleep
she’s at the door
and he needs no more
they’ve got appointments to keep
with a —

midwestern romance
at the county fair
or the country dance
it’ll roll like thunder, no word in advance
midwestern romance
midwestern romance

and across the prairie
by the parking lights’ light
one sigh is heard
in a million goodnights —

midwestern romance
at the drive-in show
or the local dance
it’ll roll like thunder, no word in advance
midwestern romance
midwestern romance
at the county fair
or the country dance
it’ll roll like thunder, no word in advance
midwestern romance
midwestern romance
midwestern romance...
