When things change for the better Your guard goes up I don't know That ain't the way the way things go Staying above the gallows Any small victory seems to take so long Just raise a glass until the feelings gone Staying above the gallows Got more yesterdays than tomorrows Don't always matter to some Ain't enough time for a man to borrow To turn indiscretions undone So I'll be your tried and true anchor my days to you Staying above the gallows When I'm home in the evening Hang my day at the door Times undefeated there could always be more Staying above the gallows Got more yesterdays than tomorrows Don't always matter to some Ain't enough time for a man to borrow To turn indiscretions undone So I'll be your tried and true anchor my days to you Staying above the gallows Time to be bold and do what you're told Don't let your heart fall to your feet Cheap draws and guitars and a place to sleep These days it's all I need Got more yesterdays than tomorrows Don't always matter to some Ain't enough time for a man to borrow To turn indiscretions undone So I'll be your tried and true anchor my days to you Staying above the gallows
