  S1:
  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

  R1:
  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

  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
