Story Behind The Song

I was messing around with the notion of a "one hit wonder" when I realized that this wanted to be a love song.

Song Description

ROUGH DEMO - A song about love and commitment and one night stands.

Lyrics

(verse:)
She was working in a diner by the railroad tracks
She almost didn?t notice when he came in
He lingered a lot longer than the other diners
He drank too much coffee, cause she poured it with a grin.

The place was closing down. They were the only two left.
He was working up his courage. He was headed to the door.
It was stumbled more than spoken, ?Can I be with you tonight??
She smiled a little sigh. She?d been down this road before

(chorus:)
I don?t want another one hit wonder
Don?t need another flash in the pan.
You?re gonna need more than 15 minutes of fame
You?re gonna need more than one night to make a stand.

(verse)
From October through September, he never missed a day
He memorized the menu. She memorized his face.
She smiled far more often. So did he.
His face was feeling flushed as he went down on his knee

(chorus:)
I don?t wanna be a one hit wonder
Don?t wanna be a flash in the pan.
I?m gonna need more than 15 minutes of fame
I?m gonna need more than one night to make a stand.

(bridge)
Well, they mostly fell on good times, with just a taste of bad
She?s no longer at the diner and he kicked his cup of joe
But whenever things get tricky, he just turns to her and smiles
Remember what I told you, 60 years ago:

(chorus)
