Patrick Jason Matthews - One Nightstand lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Bridge] On the fifth of last November On a business trip in Denver The airport cancelled 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? [Verse 3] 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 [Outro] One nightstand One nightstand
