But it'll have to do for a while
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 night sand
Barely enough room to be a man
Reminding me of how good it was
And right now, how bad it is
Beside it there's a coffee cup
Where I keep my wedding ring and stuff
And some nights it still keeps me up
Funny how a man's life can be reduced
On the fifth of last November
On a business trip in strangers
Would you drink a beer with me
So I hit the hotel bar with her
