Bob Bennett - Together All Alone (1983)

TOGETHER ALL ALONE: Written & Recorded by Bob Bennett on "Matters of the Heart" (now on iTunes, Amazon, etc.) - - - - - 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 / 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 / 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 / And far away, a Shepherd tends His sheep

OMgosh!! Was looking for something else on youtube and here you are Bob Bennett!!! My husband asked you a stupid question about this song 1,000 years ago at LeTurneaux University in Longview, TX. You were irritated with his question and answered it abruptly... We were telling our teens the story just yesterday and laughing our butts off remembering that night.......wow can't wait to sing a duet with you in eternity!!!! love ya, lisa (we have long forgiven you)

@CarlyDanielleMcClain -- Oh my, I hope wasn't a complete buffoon ... but sometimes it happens and I still worry about that stuff from time-to-time. E-mail me at BOB at BOB dash (hyphen) BENNETT dot COM and give me more details (this is not the forum for that). And please accept a pre-emptive apology for any lapse on my part. We're all human and sometimes not at our best ... but still, I'm supposed to keep irritation at a minimum whenever possible!

Yeah I know. I used to get that a lot. That. And "Burl Ives". And "John Goodman"

Hey Bob- Been listening to some of your older material. I know you're probably a busy guy but I was wondering if it would be at all possible if you could download a few more of your songs from the "Matters of the Heart LP"? I have always admired you, and your songwriting abilities. Thank you so much for the wonderful heartfelt songs, (sometimes they make me cry), and all the memories that come from listening to your music. God Bless!

Great stuff Bob- My favorite is Matters of the Heart (its also like 2 songs in one )

Thanks for being a great friend with your music -I'm teaching my children about Singers like yourself (substance versus shallow-worldly trickery, lightsand flash!)The other day I played your matters of the heart on you tube through the remote wireless speaker system for my children- they said "it sounds like a band or at least a couple of men on guitar . I said its just one man with God's spirit living in him.

Yay! I can listen to Bob Bennett on youtube! You once counseled me and my roommate (Sue aka Shoshone) when we got in some sort of argument/fight back when we were 20-something I think. Have always loved your music!
