(Aaron Tippin/Buddy Brock) |
|
Now Daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along |
|
Everyone that knew him knew which side that he'd be on |
|
He never was a hero, or this county's shinin' light |
|
But you could always find him standing up |
|
For what he thought was right |
|
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string |
|
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name |
|
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
Now we might have been better off or owned a bigger house |
|
If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backing down |
|
But we always had plenty just living his advice |
|
Whatever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight |
|
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string |
|
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name |
|
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
Now I know that things are different than they were in |
|
Daddy's days |
|
But I still believe what makes a man really hasn't changed |
|
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a string |
|
Never compromise what's right and uphold your family name |
|
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
|
You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything |
