amen / amsterdam nights / that's life

I was sitting on the rooftop terrace
With a Margarita from the bar
Looking kind of lonely
And you were there from out of the blue
Or out of the dark

Just a guy from South Carolina
A Dad of two girls and married
Showing me pictures from his youth
And Amsterdam nights turn real
And American Dreams come true

You're way too cool to be alone
You said and I'm like, that's why I had to find ya
Come on, let's make this night the most fun we ever had
And you take me to the coolest club in town, spend all your money for this supreme view down
And I guess being good to you can't be called bad

I just don't see why I should be like all these other girls
So narrow-minded and stuck up in their world
Feeling too vain just to talk to you
And why should I like these guys for their youth
When I'd much rather be with you

You feel guilty because of your wife
But you agree when I say, baby, that's life
Taking a taxi, he drove the wrong way
Another 50$, the club is called Escape
And we make it ours before we get away

You take my hand and I don't know where we're going
I just know that this night is glowing
On the bridge you kiss me and you will have me undone while I ask you which hotel when there is only one
We take the cab back to Doubletree
And I don't know why, but you make me feel free

Elevator to the eighth floor
Stumbling through the door
You convince your friend that you didn't pay
And I stay
I stay all the way

The city of sin got me on the last day
By a coincidental additional stay
And the city, it talks to you
Saying after all Jesus loves you
And it just makes me want to say Amen

In the morning you take me in your arms
And one more time your eyes are full of charm
You have to leave and you tell your friend you'll be down in five
And by now you're reunited with your lucky wife
Well baby, I guess that's life
