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 |

I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors
Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours And I struck out across Texas, gonna walk it line to line Now I'm halfway cross New Mexico, but you're still on my mind And this road that's going nowhere just leads me on and on As I ask myself with every step will I ever be alone I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I was deep in California when I finally made a friend And it was me and that old hobo till you showed up again Then he ran out of liquor and I've run out of time I'm standing by the ocean, but you're still on my mind And I'm staring at the water so blue and deep and wide Bet a man could lose a memory over on the other side I wonder just how far it is over you Is there no place I go that you don't come too When I left Tennessee, I thought we were through Now I wonder how far it is over you I parked my car beside the highway and I didn't lock the doors Left a note there with the keys if it cranks, well friend, she's yours |

Sometimes she runs, sometimes she don't
More than once she's left me on the side of the road The older she gets, the slower we go But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio She needs a carburetor, a set of plug wires She's riding me around on four bald tires The wipers don't work and the horn don't blow But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio I got stopped by a cop late last night Out-of-date tags and no tail lights He said, "I oughta run you in, but I'm lettin' you go Because there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" Got the best lookin' gal in my hometown I asked her last time that I took her out Honey, tell me what it is that makes you love me so She said, "there ain't nothin' wrong with your radio" I've got sixteen speakers crossin' my back dash A little bobbin' dog watchin' everybody pass Dual attennas a-whippin' in the wind Lord, there ain't a country station that I can't tune in She ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio No, she ain't a Cadillac and she ain't a Rolls But there ain't nothin' wrong with the radio |

I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way: Aaron Tippin
I've walked the straight and narrow and I've worn a rebel's brand Sometimes I've had to go without for bein' my own man I've rallied to the cause when I knew the cause was right I've cut against the grain, but I've kept my peace of mind And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I could have taken a beaten path every time trouble starts I'd rather take a beatin' than to ever cross my heart Stickin' to my guns, can't be sold or bought Holdin' to my honor no matter what the cost And I wouldn't have it any other way If there's a price for bein' me, that's one I'll have to pay I'll take the good and bear the bad until my dyin' day I wouldn't have it any other way Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way I wouldn't have it any other way |

Somewhere out there in the smoky air
Where the night is neon blue Surrounded by strangers, she don't know the dangers One drink could lead her to And if she falls, it's all my fault For doin' a good woman wrong I can't be far behind her Oh, Lord, help me find her Before my angel is gone Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Last night when she left I told myself That she wouldn't go too far Now I'm not so sure how long her tears Could last in a stranger's arms She's wounded I know and feeling so low She could fall at anytime I don't know what I'd do if I were to lose That precious angel of mine Looking for my blue angel The same one that flew from my arms last night If you see my blue angel Tell her that heaven without her feels like hell tonight Yes, tell her heaven without her feels like hell tonight |

It ain't nothin' but a small frame house on an acre lot
It ain't that much diff'rent from any other house on the block And it may not look like we got all our share of the promise But at least one thing's for sure, I got it honest Roll out of the sack every mornin', head on down to the mill Give 'em all I got for eight, 'cause that's the deal If you'll check out my paycheck Well, you'll see that there ain't that much on it But ev'ry single penny I'm paid, I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause buddy if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Now you ain't looking at some dude That was born with a Silver spoon in his mouth And I might seem like some kind of low-life To that high-falutin' crowd But I'm plain spoken, straight talkin' And damn proud of what I have acomplished Some folks appreciate that and some don't But, I got it honest Now when I die, I may not leave my kids a fortune But I hope they know'd my life stood for things that were important And I'll hand out the same sturdy old values of my daddy and my momma It made me every ounce of what I am and I got it honest I never had to hang my head in shame For puttin' a price tag on my name Never turned my back on what I believe Or let my heart be ruled by greed 'Cause brother if I didn't earn it, I don't want it That way I can always say, I got it honest Friend there ain't no doubt about it, I got it honest |

Maybe we'll never be seen together
At night on a crowded street I may never reach across your body To kill the light when you're asleep Maybe I'll never watch you dressing I won't sound too familiar on the phone But I can touch your hand accidentally And take that moment home That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you I won't be there when you need holding But I'm sure that he can pull you through But I can sing this song to everybody And pretend it's not about you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to loving you That's as close as I'll get to loving you Even though there's nothing else I'd rather do I can dream, I can hope, I can scheme but still I know That's as close as I'll get to Yeah, that's as close as I'll get to That's as close as I'll get to loving you |

Well, down at the factory, I'm never late

You're looking at a man that's almost gone
Had a good woman and I went and did her wrong Honey found out I was lovin' double time She moved me from her heart to the back of her mind She made a memory out of me Just a vision of the past is all you see Like a statue of stone a part of history Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me Lord, I'm so low down for what I've done I don't even make a shadow when I'm walking in the sun I hide my face, hang my chin Just another sad story 'bout an old has been She made a memory out of me Just a vision of the past is all you see Like a statue of stone a part of history Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me Say Lord, that baby made a memory out of me Just a vision of the past is all you see Like a statue of stone a part of history Yeah, that woman made a memory out of me Lord, that baby made a memory out of me |

I was born on the wrong of the city
Desperation in my mother's eyes Factory whistle would wake me in the morning At night the sirens sang my lullaby Fought my way out of the blue collar jungle Heart of leather and hands of steel Thought I was too much of a sole survivor To ever feel the way I feel CHORUS But I don't want to live without your love I don't want to live without your love I can't take another night And I've lost the will to fight I don't want to live without your love Dance with the Devil in a bottle of whiskey I paid the fiddler for every song You'd think with all the lessons learned the hard way I'd know enough to be strong (repeat chorus) |
