One Nightstand Lyrics

Well, it ain't home but it'll have to do for a while Got a fold down bed Two windows on the parking lot Three plates in the kitchenette
A table and chair where I can eat A little black and white TV A shower stall and a bathroom sink And one two-drawer nightstand Barely enough room to be a man
And on that nightstand sits a photograph Of my wife and kids Remindin' me of how good it was And right now, how bad it is
Beside it there's a coffee cup Where I keep my wedding ring and stuff And some nights it still keeps me up How I got where I am
Funny, how a man's life Can be reduced To one nightstand
On the fifth of last November On a business trip in Denver The airport canceled all the flights We were snowed in strangers, alone for the night
She said, "Hi, I'm Angie And I'm from Boston Would you drink a beer with me If I bought 'em?"
So I hit the hotel bar with her Figured, what would it hurt?
Sittin' on the bed, leanin' 'gainst the wall With a Bible and a gun One of them was gonna save me The only question was which one
So I got down on my shakin' knees Asked the Lord, "Forgive me please" Dropped the gun and grabbed my keys That picture and my wedding band
Funny how a man's life Can all come down To one nightstand
One nightstand One nightstand
