One Night Stand
by Mark Heard

Album: Stop the Dominoes

I caught the train to San Francisco
I would've flown but I can't stand planes
I'm just a blur in Luis Obispo
I'm just a nose on a windowpane
I'll stay only for an evening
I'll play just a one man band
I'll stay only till I'm leaving
I'll play just a one night stand

I hit the depot half-past seven
I took the bus to a cheap motel
I went to sleep and I dreamed of Heaven
When I awoke I was back in Hell

I'll stay only for an evening
I'll play just a one man band
I'll stay only till I'm leaving
I'll play just a one night stand

I caught the train for to see Seattle
I would've flown but I can't stand planes
People go by like so many cattle
I'm just a nose on a windowpane

I'll stay only for an evening
I'll play just a one man band
I'll stay only till I'm leaving
I'll play just a one night stand
