Lyrics

On the Nightstand by the Bed

Verse: Eddie keeps a pistol on the nightstand by the bed
He sleeps like a baby at least that's what he says
It keeps him protected from the evil in the night
That might sound crazy but he'll get some sleep tonight
And that's alright

Verse: Amy keeps a Bible on the nightstand by the bed
She's never really read it but she knows every word it says
It keeps her protected from the demons she keeps down
That may sound crazy but it keeps her feet firm on the ground
So that's alright

Bridge: On the nightstand by the bed I keep just paper and a pen
Most nights I don't need em but every now and then
I find they help me fight the fears I can't explain
And when I feel as though a runaway train
Is burnin' round I track inside my head
Sometimes I find comfort on the nightstand by the bed

Verse: I'd buy myself a pistol if I were man enough to kill
I don't understand the Bible but I hope someday I will
I got my paper and my pen for defense
That my sound crazy but to me it makes good sense
And that's alright
