One Nightstand

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 kitchenetteA 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 manAnd on that nightstand sits a photograph
Of my wife and kids
Remindin' me of how good it was
And right now, how bad it isBeside 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 amFunny, how a man's life
Can be reduced
To one nightstandOn 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 nightShe 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 oneSo 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 bandFunny how a man's life
Can all come down
To one nightstandOne nightstand
One nightstand
