Proud Souls

Proud Souls Written by Jason Boland Artist Jason Boland and the Stragglers Cd Pearl Snaps From [email protected] 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. I don't care that I can't sleep 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 heather The proud souls laugh and 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. The thing that seems always true when I'm hung over the sky is blue. A rough night for me will make a hell of a day I believe in ghosts and democracy and that each man should leave his legacy be that mans work great or be it small. I don't believe in everything like the designated hitter or that diamond rings will make love last forever for one and all. Chorus
