Lyrics

[Intro] This is the first song I ever had anybody else record for me [Verse 1] Well, 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 Jäger until it was through [Verse 2] 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 And my knees and ankles say I'm gettin' older The phone finally rang, but it wasn't for me [Chorus] If everyonе was together I guess no onе 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 (Oh, make me cry) [Verse 3] Well, now sleep finally came, but I woke up alone And my head was next to the telephone I gave the sun a cussin' as I drew the shades Well, one thing that seems always true That's when I'm hungover, the sky is blue A rough night for me'll make a hell of a day [Verse 4] And I believe in ghosts and democracy And that each man should leave us his legacy Be that man's work great or be it small But I don't believe in everything Like the designated hitter or that diamond rings Will make love last forever for one and all [Chorus] 'Cause if everyone should be together Then why are some many left alone? Life's a lot of trade-offs in the end And somewhere in the fields of Heaven The proud souls laugh and they love together Somewhere between passion and losin' friends Yeah, somewhere between passion and losin' friends Yeah, hey
