Lyrics
TWO NIGHT STANDS
I EASE ONTO THE BLACKTOP AS THE SUN IS WAKIN' UP ANOTHER DAY.
I LEFT HER BACK THERE SLEEPIN', CAUSE WHEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
IT WAS GOOD WHILE IT LASTED, BUT LIKE ALWAYS IT WAS JUST A COUPLE DAYS, I SOMETIMES WISH IT COULD BE DIFF'RENT, I AINT PROUD OF ME, BUT I GUESS IT'S JUST MY WAY.
I TELL MYSELF THAT SOMEDAY I'LL FIND SOMEONE AND I'LL JUST SETTLE DOWN, BUT SOMEHOW I CONVINCE MYSELF THERE'S ONE BETTER THAN THE ONE THAT I JUST FOUND.
AND I SNEAK OUT IN THE DARKNESS BEIN' CAREFUL SO I DON'T MAKE A SOUND.
THEN I PICK UP WHERE I LEFT OFF, WITH THIS THING THAT I CALL LOVE IN SOME NEW TOWN.
CHORUS: I AINT GETTING' ANY YOUNGER, I'VE GOT TO STOP THIS RUNNIN' PLACE TO PLACE,
THESE TWO NIGHT STANDS ARE KILLIN" ME, I SEE IT IN THE LINES IN MY FACE.
AND SOMEDAY SOON NOBODY WILL WANT THIS OLD BODY ANYMORE.
AND SOME MORNIN' WHEN I WAKE UP SHE'LL BE THE ONE THAT'S SNEAKIN' OUT THE DOOR.
OH THIS NEW TOWN LOOKS SO DIFFERENT I THINK I'LL JUST STOP A LITTLE WHILE.
THE WAITRESS KEEPS ON STARIN' AND SHE'S GOT A PRETTY SMILE.
SHE'S NOT LIKE ALL THE OTHERS, MAYBE SHE'S THE ONE THAT'LL MAKE ME WANT TO STAY.
BUT I KNOW DAMN WELL I'M LYIN' AND I MIGHT AS WELL STOP TRYIN' TO CHANGE MY WAYS.
REPEAT CHORUS:
