Proud Souls lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through

[Verse 2]
I don't care that I can't sleep
'Cause 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 heaven
The proud souls laugh and they love together
Somewhere between passion and losin' friends

[Verse 3]
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 seems always true
That's when I'm hung over, well the sky is blue
A rough night for me will make a hell of a day
