Whiskey-Colored Yesterdays

Dressed up and shoes shined, the whiskey on your brain
A few shots for good times, a few more for the pain
And I said, "Oh my God, it's up to me"
Can't disguise this heart upon my sleeve
It's in my blood
But life can't pass me by

If I stand my ground
Will you help me if I fall?
Then I'll never change at all
I'll point my vessel to the sky
If I stand my ground
Maybe we can share the pain
Show our hearts and hide our names
Forget our whiskey-colored yesterdays
If I stand my ground

I keep my lips dry, protect my fragile name
You're half a thought behind, a fifth from where you came
And I think, "Oh my God, it's up to me."
Sell my night to fools and petty thieves
I guess it's love
But I'll go down with pride

If I stand my ground
Will you help me if I fall?
Then I'll never change at all
I'll point my vessel to the sky
If I stand my ground
Maybe we can share the pain
Show our hearts and hide our names
Forget our whiskey-colored yesterdays
If I stand my ground

But life can't pass me by

If I stand my ground,
Will you help me if I fall?
Then I'll never change at all
I'll point my vessel to the sky
If I stand my ground
Maybe we can share the pain
Show our hearts and hide our names
Forget our whiskey-colored yesterdays
If I stand my ground
