Lyrics - You've Got To Stand For Something by Tippin Aaron

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
CHORUSHe'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
CHORUSNow
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
CHORUS
