I stood up for the first time when I was just eleven months old
|
And ever since that day mama said I never done what I was told
|
I never stood for nothing too much all through my schooling years
|
But I stood as much as I could stand
|
I guess that's why I'm still standing here
|
|
Chorus ~
|
And then I stood up when love called my name baby
|
I stood up even when that love was all in vain baby
|
I got stood up once and left out in the pouring rain baby
|
And then I stood up and I'll do it again
|
|
Guess I never understood what she could do with all that flaming red hair
|
I could not stand the heat in the kitchen so Jack I got on out of there
|
I stood up to get a pack of cigarettes down at the corner store
|
And now she's standing in some corner of my heart behind the kitchen
|
|
screen door
|
|
Chorus
|
|
I don't know about you
|
There's a lot of things I never stood up to
|
Even when I turn and walk away
|
I guess that's why I'm standing on my own two feet today
|
|
They gave last call for alcohol and no one has to carry me home
|
You see I only work here now man
|
My drinking days are long gone
|
I couldn't stand up after one no
|
'Till twenty had me down on the floor
|
The first one doesn't get you
|
Even though I'm still the last one out the door
|
