Aaron Tippin - You´ve Got To Stand For Something lyrics

Album: Greatest Hits...& Then Some (1997)

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 have got to stand for something or you´ll fall for anything
You have got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what´s right & uphold your family name
You have 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 have got to stand for something or you´ll fall for anything
You have got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what´s right & uphold your family name
You have 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 have got to stand for something or you´ll fall for anything
You have got to be your own man not a puppet on a string
Never compromise what´s right & uphold your family name
You have got to stand for something or you´ll fall for anything

You have got to stand for something or you´ll fall for anything
