One Night
Song
Lyrics:
© Sara Blumenstein
This is just a one night song
a postcard from the road
singing for my supper
while it’s getting cold
Just a one night song
easy to forget
going through the motions
to finish out the set.
And when the show is over
don’t tell me what went wrong
cause this is just a one night song.
This is just a one night song
the same in every town
passing empty hours
with whoever comes around.
Just a one night song
with all the same old rhymes
crumpled in the motel sheets
I play it one more time.
And when the show is over
don’t hang around too long
cause this is just a one night song
It’s not a lie when I tell her, “You’re a sweetheart”.
it’s not a lie when I whisper, “It’s lonely on the road”.
But no matter what I say,
I sang it to someone else yesterday
and, “Sure, I’ll be back one of these days.”
“I wish I could take you along, but . . .”
Repeat first verse
