You've Got To Stand For Something Lyrics - Singles - 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 standin' up for what he thought was right 

He'd say you've got to stand for somethin' 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 backin' 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 somethin' or you'll fall for anything 

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
