You’ve Got to Stand for Something Lyrics by Blake Henderson

0

[Verse 1]
Now daddy didn't like trouble
But if it came along
Every one that knew him
Knew [?] he'd be on
He never was a hero
Or this county's shining light
But you'd always find him standing up
For what he thought was right
[Chorus]
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
[?] your family name
You've got to stand for something
Or you'll fall for anything
[Verse 2]
We might've been better off
Or owned a bigger house
If daddy'd done more giving 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
[Chorus]
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
[?] your family name
You've got to stand for something
Or you'll fall for anything
[Bridge]
And I know things are different
Than they were in daddy's days
But I still believe what makes a man
Really hasn't changed
[Chorus]
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
[?] 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
Oh yeah
Woah
