twelve cities, one nightstand - beau shafton lyrics
[verse 1]
rolled into dallas with a five*man crew
half a tank of gas and a trunk of glue
played three shows with a busted string
but the crowd still roared like we’re kings of spring
met a blonde named mandy at the afterglow
she said, “play me a song,” i said, “let’s take it slow”
by that i meant: coke, jäger, and beers
and her roommate greg whisperin’ in my ear
[chorus]
it’s twelve cities, one nightstand
ten groupies deep and a sweaty van
a bible in the dash and a tab on my tongue
and a backup singer where my pants once hung
livin’ the dream with my band and my buzz
and if i held josh’s hand, that’s n0body’s business but us
[verse 2]
woke up in memphis, don’t know who drove
someone carved “beau” in the trailer stove
we did shots off a merch girl’s belt
then i cried on brad’s chest — couldn’t help how it felt
played a honky*tonk in baton rouge
where the women are wild and the men are huge
got a foot rub from a cowboy named stan
i said, “buddy that’s weird,” but i didn’t move my hand
[chorus]
it’s twelve cities, one motel key
and a handful of mushrooms starin’ back at me
there’s glitter in my boots and a bruise on my thigh
i said “i love you” once, and i might not’ve lied
it’s just the road, the roar, the rush
and sometimes a fella just needs a bro’s touch
[bridge]
now i ain’t sayin’ i’m bi or bent
but i shared a joint and a tent with trent
and if the moon is out and the tour bus sways
i don’t mind feelin’ somethin’ in unexpected ways
[final chorus]
yeah, it’s twelve cities, no regrets
just minor stds and major debts
but the crowd still sings and the lights still blind
and i still miss evan from that georgia line
it’s country, it’s chaos, it’s pure beau style—
where the boots are muddy, and the kisses last a while
[outro]
so here’s to the fans, the flings, the fun
to the straight*faced lies and the half*done runs
it’s a wild d*mn life, and i wouldn’t trade a bit…
even the parts where we both kinda meant it
