One Nightstand - Trace Adkins

Well it aint home

But itll 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 coffe 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 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
