Together All Alone

TOGETHER ALL ALONE
W/M: Bob Bennett

Brian's on the football team
But he's only second string
He's got a locker full of books
But he doesn't know a thing
He never says what's on his mind
Like his Daddy to the bone
And he's living with the rest of us
Together all alone
Together all alone

His girlfriend moved away last year
To another school in town
She's got a brand new boyfriend
But she sometimes comes around
She bounces his heart like a basketball
And when his folks are not at home
She slaps his hand as they lay on the couch
Together all alone
Together all alone

And far away, a Shepherd tends His sheep
Days full of grazing and nights full of sleep

While Brian is in school all day
The old man drives a truck
He says "It's a hell of a way to live,
but it's a way to make a buck."
He rolls home after the house is dark
His heart as cold as a stone
And he lies back to back with his wife in the sack
Together all alone
Together all alone

And far away, a Shepherd tends His sheep ...
