Midnight North - One Night Stand Lyrics

My head was heavy and my feet were dragging
The money was getting lean
I met a washed up gambler with a bloody bandana
Standing tall and mean
A one night stand wasn't part of the plan
And I'll be paying these debts for life
But I left with a smile and a kick in my step
For that I feel alright

Bought a one way ticket all the way from Chicago
As winter settled in
Yeah the blues were a biting
By the time we were driving
And the baby's looking thin
A tall dark man wasn't part of the plan
And now we're off on a new kinda life
But once we find our new home, baby
We're gonna feel alright

I see much better, baby
When things don't drive me crazy
Keep your troubles far from me
Hide your sorrows, baby
Cause we've been been moving lately
Headed where we need to be

Found ourselves in the heat of Atlanta
The cold fell from my bones
Yeah, you're still sitting on the same old barstool
And I've been moving on
Got a five dollar bill and a couple of pills
To tide you over for the rest of the night
Yeah, and baby and me are alone and free
And we're gonna be alright
