I got drunk by myself last night They say its 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 dont care that I can't sleep Id 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 Im gettin older The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
Chorus: If everyone was together I guess no one would be alone Lifes 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 Thats when Im 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 dont 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 Lifes 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
