Now daddy didn't like trouble, but if it came along,  
G              D                   D  
every one that knew him knew which side that he would  
   A      G           D             G  
be on. He never was a hero, or this county's shining  
D                    Em              G  
light, But you could always find him standing up for  
A                   D  
what he thought was right.    
                D  
He'd say you've got to stand for something or you'll  
G            D            D  
fall for anything. You've got to be your own man not a

puppet on a string. Never compromise what's right and  
G                  D            Em     Em/F#  
uphold your family name. You've got to stand for  
G        G/B        A            D  
something or you'll fall for anything.   

Verse 2  

We might of been better off or owned a bigger house,  

if daddy had done more given in or a little more  

backing down. But we always had plenty just living his  

advice. What ever you do today you'll have to sleep  

with tonight.

I know that things are different than they were in  
        D          G                  G  
daddy's day, but I still believe what makes a man  
G             A  
really hasn't changed.
