April's Girlfriend

I got drunk by myself last night

and they say its no way to make things right

I just didn't have anything better to do

Well the dog was asleep on the livin' room rug

and i watched a show about crime and drugs

Punished a bottle of burbon till it was through

I don't care that I can't sleep cause i 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 and ankles say I'm gettin older

The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me

If everyone should be together, I guess no one'd be alone

Lost alot of trade offs in the end

Somewhere in the fields of heaven 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

One thing that seems always true, when I'm hung over the sky is blue

a rough night for me 'make a hell of a day

I believe in ghosts and democracy and that each man should leave his legacy that man's worth be it great or small

But I don't believe in everything like the designated hitter or the diamond rings, make love last forever for one ????

Cause if everyone should be together, why so many left alone?

Lost alot of trade offs in the end

Somewhere in the fields of heaven proud souls laugh and love together

Somewhere between passion and losing friends

Somewhere between passion and losin' friends.
