THINKING OF A RENDEZVOUS
(Bobby Braddock / Sonny Throckmorton)


Johnny Duncan (with Janie Fricke) - 1976




I said, "Hello, my it's been such a long time" 
You said, "Yes, it has, it's been a year or more" 
Then you smiled and asked about my wife and family 
I said, "Johnny's six and Judy's almost four" 


But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour 
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do 
We kept talking like nothing ever happened 
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous 


You said, "Are you still working down at the factory" 
I said, "Yes I am, guess I'll be there 'til I die"
You asked me if I still went down to Joe's Place 
I said, "Yeah, I do, but it's been a long, long time" 


But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour 
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do 
We kept talking like nothing ever happened 
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous 


And you said, "Gotta go, sure been nice to see you 
But I told Jack that I'd be home by nine"
I said, "By the way, tell him I said hello 
And we'll all have to get together sometime" 


But I was thinking how I'd love to get you alone for one hour 
Down at the Family Inn like we used to do 
We kept talking like nothing ever happened 
But I was making small talk, thinking of a rendezvous
