well it aint 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 nightsand
barely enough room to be a man
and on the nightstand
sits a photograph
of my wife and kids
reminding 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 cancelled all the flights
we were snowed-in strangers
alone for the night
she said "hi im angie
and im 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' against 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
