The Life and Soul

He's holding up but sure enough he's
Tearing at the seams  beat up and
Tried like a little rag doll
But he's old enough and strong enough
To remember the man he used to be
The life and soul
But when he's home sitting all alone
Too drunk to be around anyone
Too blind to see all the damage done
Man that ain't no way to have fun
Somebody said happiness ain't getting
What you want but wanting what you get
It's a state of mind  let yourself go free
Everybody's searching for someone
They think they oughta trying to wanna
Never never never really be
Cos when you're home sitting all alone
Too tired to be around anyone  too blind
To see you're not the only one
Man that ain't no way to have fun
