lyrics

Tears well up in Jackie's eyes as she recounts how she relapsed again,
and we all let her speak 
I turned my 3-months-sober chip in at the end of last week, so I'm no better 
Even now the room still spins, the wage of sin I guess 
How could I put so much in, just to begin again? 

But still we try 
But still we try 
Cause on the nights I lie awake 
And hear the bottle call my name 
I see my daughter's face 
And dig my heels in 

They lowered her into her grave
I was swimming in a black dress
And I hid my eyes and tried to look away
That barren ground, my father's tears
When I close my eyes I see them
Unimpeded by the passing of the years

And still I cry 
And still I cry
Cause on the nights I lie awake
And hear the bottle call my name
I see my mother's grave and dig my heels in
Cause on the night I lie awake
And hear the bottle call me name
I see my daughters face and dig my heels in
And now as Jackie dries her eyes
I take her shaking hand in mine
And tell her what I know we all are feeling
That still we cry
But we keep fighting on 
We keep fighting on 
We keep fighting on 
We keep fighting on
