This was one of my dad's favorite songs... I was downloading (okay...my brother-in-law was showing me how to do it...LOL...) songs on to Karson's iTouch for her last night and I had forgotten that when we were doing the music for my dad's funeral that I bought this song on iTunes... It was still sitting in my purchased folder...almost two years later... He and my brother used to listen to this song every day after my brother got off work... He said that this song means something...that it's the way you should be and feel...
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
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
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 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
Love you and miss you Daddy...
Love,
Your Peanut
