You ve Got To Stand For Something lyrics

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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
