Trace Adkins - 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 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-inn 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' 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
