Lyrics
?EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?
Mark Elliott & Tim Johnson
Jerry, he?s a workaholic never made time for a family
He?s dedicated to his Gin & Tonics
But they don?t give him what he needs
And Joey, he pays alimony to two wives in different towns
And tries to act like he ain?t lonely
But the single life can wear you down
And as for me, I?m no different than the rest
I?ve been comin? here ever since that woman left
CHORUS
(Now) It?s every man for himself tonight
Looking out for number one
And tryin? to get on with our lives
Oh it?s heart breakin? and it?s soul achin?
When you?ve got nobody else
Well friends it?s good to have you here tonight
But it?s every man for himself
In walks a long haired beauty, we?re all prayin? she?s unattached
I can felt a chill go straight through me
I?ve never seen a smile like that
I ain?t worried about Bill or Darrell, they?re both wearin? they?re wedding bands
The rest of us are just fish in a barrel
She can take her pick but understand
She can?t save us all from the lonely life we lead
So bartender will you send her a drink and tell her it?s from me
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Well I?ll be your shoulder friends
When you feel like giving up
But if it ever comes down to finding love
REPEAT CHORUS
