Proud Souls

I got drunk by myself last night
 They say it's no way to make things right
 I just didn't have anything better to do
 The dog was asleep on the living room rug and
 I watched a show about crime and drugs
 Finished a bottle of bourbon until it was through
 I don't care that I can't sleep
 I'd just as soon stay up all week
 I might get some things done while others dream
 The heater broke and the room got cold
 And my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older
 The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
 Chorus:
 If everyone was together
 I guess no one would be alone
 Life's a lot of trade offs in the end
 Somewhere in the fields of heather
 The proud souls laugh and they love together
 Somewhere between passion and losing friends
 ♪
 Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
 My head was next to the telephone
 I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades
 One thing that always seems true
 That's when I'm hung over the sky is blue
 A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
 And I believe in ghosts and democracy
 And that each man should leave his legacy
 Be that mans work great or be it small
 I don't believe in everything like
 The designated hitter or that diamond rings
 Will make love last forever for one and all
 Cause if everyone should be together
 Why are some many left alone
 Life's a lot of trade offs in the end
 Somewhere in the fields of heather
 The proud souls laugh and they love together
 Somewhere between passion and losing friends
 Somewhere between passion and losing friends
