You`ve Got To Stand For Something — текст песни (Aaron Tippin)

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
