Proud Souls Lyrics

Proud Souls by Jason Boland
Well 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 Jaeger until it was through
And I don't care that I can't sleep
Hell, 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
Any 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.
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
And my head was laying 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.
And I believe in ghost and democracy
And that each man should leave us his legacy
Be that mans' work great or be it small.
But, I don't believe in everything like
The designated hitter or that diamond ring
We'll make love last forever for one and all
If Everyone was together
Why are so many left 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.
Somewhere between passion and losin friends.
