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
