Agreed.
Not a big country fan, but this song has stuck with me since the first time I heard it.

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 standin' 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've been better off or owned a bigger house If Daddy had done more givin' in or a little more backin' 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"
And I know that things are different than they were in Daddy's day 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
