You've Got to Stand for Something

by Aaron Tippin


    Now daddy didn't like trouble,
    but if it came along,
    everyone that knew him
    knew which side that he would be on.
    He never was a hero,
    or this county's shining 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.

    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.
    What ever 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.

    I know that things are different
    than they were in daddy's day,
    but I still believe what makes a man
    really hasn't changed.

    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 daddy didn't like trouble,
    but if it came along,
    everyone that knew him
    knew which side that he would be on.
    He never was a hero,
    or this county's shining light,
    But you could always find him standing up
    for what he thought was right.
