One Night Stand Lyrics

Every night a different town I sing my song
I play and sing pack my things and move along
A pretty face, another place I never get to know
A one night stand, another show
My guitar a railroad car a bus or plane
Chocolate bar and there you are the price of fame
If I could do what I want to, I'd stay and never go
A one night stand is all I know
I wish that I could be two people
Instead of being on my own
I wish that I could be two people
And then I'd never be alone
Photographs of where I've been and all I've done
In this whole world, is there a girl, no, not one
Goodbye, hello I've got to go I hope you understand
A one night man is all I am
A one night stand, a one night man.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
