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
