Proud Souls Lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed

Got drunk by myself last night 

& they say thats no way to make things right 

I just didnt have anything better to do 

The dog was asleep on the living room rug 

And I watched a show about a crime of drugs 

Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through 

I dont care that I cant sleep 

Id just as soon stay up all week 

Might get some things done while others dream 

The heater broke and the room got cold 

And my knees and ankles say Im getting older 

The phone finally rang but it wasnt for me 

Chorus: 

If everyone should be together 

I guess no one would be alone 

Thats a lot of tradeoffs in the end 

Somewhere in the fields of heaven 

Proud Souls laugh and love together 

Some where between passion and losing friends 

Sleep finally came but I woke up alone 

And my head was next to the telephone 

A gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shade 

One thing that seems always true 

When Im hung over the sky is blue 

A rough night for me makes a hell of a day 

I believe in ghost and democracy 

And that each man should leave his legacy 

That mans work great or be it small 

But I dont believe in everything 

Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings 

Can make love last for ever for one and all 

Chorus: 

(Repeat) Somewhere between passion and losing friends
