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 counties shining 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
Now I know that things are different
And they were in daddy's day
But I still believe what makes a man
Really hasn't changed
(Repeat Chorus)
