Now Edaddy didn't like trouble, but if Bit came aElong
AEveryone that Eknew him, knew which side that he would be Bon
He Anever was a Ehero, or this Acounty's shining Elight
But you could C#malways find him Astanding up for Bwhat he thought was Eright
He'd say, you've Egot to stand for something or you'll Afall for anyEthing
You've Egot to be your own man not a puppet on a Bstring
Never Acompromise what's Eright and upAhold your family Ename
You've F#mgot to E/G#stand for Asomething or you'll Bfall for anyEthing

Now we Emight have been better off or Bowned a bigger Ehouse
If Adaddy had done more, Egivin' in, or a little more backing Bdown
But we Aalways had Eplenty, just Aliving his adEvice
WhatC#mever you do toAday, you'll have to Bsleep with toEnight
He'd say, you've Egot to stand for something or you'll Afall for anyEthing
You've Egot to be your own man not a puppet on a Bstring
NeverA compromise what's Eright and upAhold your family Ename
You've F#mgot to E/G#stand for Asomething or you'll Bfall for anyEthing
I Aknow that things are Edifferent than they Awere in daddy's Edays
But I Astill believe what makes a man really hasn't Bchanged
You've Egot to stand for something or you'll Afall for anyEthing
You've Egot to be your own man not a puppet on a Bstring
Never Acompromise what's Eright and upAhold your family Ename
You've F#mgot to E/G#stand for Asomething or you'll Bfall for anyC#mthing
You've F#mgot to stand for Asomething or you'll Bfall for anyEthing
