Heard the call and I packed it all
And I'm on the road again
You can help to ease my low
And I will be your friend
But the morning brings the sunlight
And the sunlight brings my friend
So I say goodbye to lonely I want L.A. back
One night stand in New York City
Lights are bright and the girls are pretty
Held her heart and I held her hand
Goodbye lady, I'm a one night stand
Oklahoma, Arizona
Wish I knew for sure
Came to town and I held my ground
That's what I came hear for
But the voices in the distance
And their calling me back home
I'll be leaving in the morning
Guess my fate is not my own
One night stand in New York City
Lights are bright and the girls are pretty
Held her heart and I held her hand
Goodbye lady, I'm a one night stand
Gypsy queens and magazines
Living on the land
Don't make ties and don't tell lies
Do the best you can
But of every place I've been to
And of every place I've seen
I feel lonesome among strangers
I feel naked without strings
One night stand in New York City
Lights are bright and the girls are pretty
Held her heart and I held her hand
Goodbye lady, I'm a one night stand
Goodbye lady, I'm a one night stand
