Sam got married right out of school
Lives in a field of disposable houses
Consults to consultants, nobody's fool
No time to wonder what the point of his life is
He's gotta howl all night long
Gotta stand so strong
Gotta love a woman with all his heart
Mike sits all alone, counting the rent
Opens a bottle and turns on talk radio
Kicks the cats in the yard, lives on cigarettes and lard
Calls the cops at first sign of a stereo
He shoulda howled all night long
Better stand so strong
Never loved a woman with all his heart
He's gotta step into his real soul
Gotta learn to love what he can't control
Gotta check his compass each and every day
Face it with dignity when he doesn't get his way
(sax solo)
He gotta howl all night long
Gotta stand so strong
Gotta love that woman, each and every part
