Put me out of my misery please !

Trying to remember a track from (I think) the eighties. Sort of Country type, but with a solid beat. Hitch-hiker is picked up by a woman on a lonely road. They spend the night in a motel. he returns to the motel some months later and finds that the woman owns it and she has a young child. he identifies the child as his by its eyes. There is a line to the effect that he saw 'his' eyes. Know it's not a lot to go on, so thanks anyone who can come up with it !

the line "You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes" appears in the song "All I Wanna Do", written by Robert John "Mutt" Lange and performed by Heart.

Some of the story you described appears in that song, but other details don't match, so it may not be the song you're looking for.

That's it - thanks !!

It was a rainy night when he came into sight
Standing by the road, no umbrella, no coat
So I pulled up along side and I offered him a ride
He accepted with a smile so we drove for a while
I didn't ask him his name, this lonely boy in the rain
Fate tell me it's right, is this love at first sight
Please don't make it wrong, just stay for the night
All I wanna do is make love to you
Say you will you want me too
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

So we found this hotel, it was a place I knew well
We made magic that night. Oh, he did everything right
He brought the woman out of me, so many times, easily
And in the morning when he woke all I left him was a note
I told him I am the flower you are the seed
We walked in the garden we planted a tree
Don't try to find me, please don't you dare
Just live in my memory, you'll always be there

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I wanna do is make love to you
I've got lovin' arms to hold on to

Oh, oooh, we made love
Love like strangers
All night long
We made love

Then it happened one day, we came round the same way
You can imagine his surprise when he saw his own eyes
I said please, please understand
I'm in love with another man
And what he couldn't give me
was the one little thing that you can

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Come on, say you will, you want me too

All I wanna do is make love to you
One night of love was all we knew
All I want to do is make love to you
Say you will, you want me too

All night long ...
