şarkı sözü,şarkı sözleri, Lyrics

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

You say you finally found Mr.Right
He’s got you flying like a dime store kite
Well I’ll be waiting here on te ground
Look me up if he lets you down

You’ve always got me to fall back on
A rabbit in your hat an ace in the hole
It might help to know you’ve got a plan B
Whatever else happens you’ve always got me

I gave you my heart and my heart is true
I won’t take it back no matte why you do
You’re gonna have to carry it permanently
No matter who else loves you
You’ve always got me

You’ve always got me to fall back on
A rabbit in your hat an ace in the hole
It might help to know you’ve got a plan B
Whatever else happens you’ve always got me

Another iron in the fire
Another horse in the barn
Another map to your treasure
An extra safety net another hedge on your bet
A little for good measure

You’ve always got me to fall back on
A rabbit in your hat an ace in the hole
It might help to know you’ve got a plan B
Whatever else happens you’ve always got me

It might help you to know you’ve got a plan B
Whatever else happens you’ve always got me

Ever since that night you walked out
I just ain’t been the same ol’ me
I’ve barely had the strength
To leave the couch to turn on my TV

But a man can’t hide away forever
And last night I finally told me so
I knew I had to get out
But I knew I had to take it slow

So I burned down this town
A honky tonk at a time
I got loud and checked out
Every cute little cowgirl I could hold
Getting over you is still a long ways away
I swear
Last night was one small step
But you gotta start somewhere

Think I feel a little better
A little more like the man I used to be
I ain’t saying that I’m there yet
But I can see some possibilities
When your motor ain’t been fired up lately
You can’t just jam it in gear and go
I know I’m still not up to speed
But last night I had to test the road

You are the woman
Who started a fire in my soul
And to this day it’s still burning out of control
With my final breath your name will cross my tongue
You are the woman there’ll never be another one
I’ve stared into the eyes of strangers
Wondering if I’d ever find you girl
The one that I could build my dreams around
To fill my empty world
And now I look at you and know it’s true
My search is finally done
This love that I’ve held on to for so long
Was meant for only one

You are the woman beautiful woman
God only knows just why you chose to love only me
You are the woman oh precious woman
Right her and now I give this vow
There’ll never be another one

Right here and now I give this vow
Oh there’ll never be another one

You get up every morning ‘fore the sun comes up
Toss a lunchbox into a pickup truck
A long, hard day sure ain’t much fun
But you’ve gotta get it started if you wanna get it done
You set your mind and roll up your sleeves
You’re workin’ on a working man’s Ph.D.

With your heart in your hands and the sweat on your brow
You build the things that really make the world go around
If it works, if it runs, if it lasts for years
You bet your bottom dollar it was made right here
With pride, honor and dignity
From a man with a working man’s Ph.D.

Now there ain’t no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I’d like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin’ their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man’s Ph.D.

When the quittin’ whistle blows and the dust settles down
There ain’t no trophies or cheering crowds
You’ll face yourself at the end of the day
And be damn proud of whatever you’ve made
Can’t hang it on the wall for the world to see
But you’ve got yourself a working man’s Ph.D.

Now there ain’t no shame in a job well done
From driving a nail to driving a truck
As a matter of fact I’d like to set things straight
A few more people should be pullin’ their weight
If you wanna cram course in reality
You get yourself a working man’s Ph.D.

I was born on the wrong side 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

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 the 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

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

I’ve called from every run down phone booth in Atlanta, Georgia
Tryin’ to find someone to tell me where you’d gone
I begged and pleaded with your mama ’til she gave me this number
Honey, we can work it out
Just come back home

‘Cause there’s a whole lotta love on the line
And all I need is a chance to change your mind
Don’t hang up the phone, ’cause everything’s not gone
Think about it, baby
There’s a whole lotta love on the line

All this distance that’s come between us has gone far enough
And now I know that closer to you is where I belong
And that feelin’ I’m feelin’ inside is what I’m tryin’ to send through these wires
Oh, darling who cares
Who’s right or who’s wrong

‘Cause there’s a whole lotta love on the line
And all I need is a chance to change your mind
Don’t hang up the phone, ’cause everything’s not gone
Think about it, baby
There’s a whole lotta love on the line

Well if you ask me where I come from
Here’s what I tell everyone
I was born by God’s dear grace
In an extraordinary place
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

It’s a big ‘ol land with countless dreams
Happiness ain’t out of reach
Hard work pays off the way it should
Yeah, I’ve seen enough to know that we’ve got it good
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

There’s a lady that stands in a harbor
For what we believe
And there’s a bell that still echoes
The price that it cost to be free

I pledge allegiance to this flag
And if that bothers you, well that’s too bad
But if you got pride and you’re proud you do
Hey, we could use some more like me and you
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Yes there’s a lady that stands in a harbor
For what we believe
And there’s a bell that still echoes
The price that it cost to be free

No, it ain’t the only place on earth
But it’s the only place that I prefer
To love my wife and raise my kids
Hey, the same way that my daddy did
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Where the stars and stripes and the eagle…fly
Where the stars and stripes and the eagle fly

Just a skinny little Mississippi railroad man
That loved to sing and play
He brought his music from the cotton fields
To the the hillbilly hall of fame
Thank God for Jimmie Rodgers
Chisel his name in the cornerstone
I just wish he could’ve lived to see the day
When country took the throne
Now a million songs have come and gone
Since we made that humble start
About neon nights, everyday life
Love and broken hearts
And more and more folks
Kept tuning in and turning on
Now I can proudly say that I saw the day
When country took the throne

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York
They can’t get enough of this country stuff
And they’re screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, I was there the day
When country took the throne

Now, no one knows what the future holds
But I bet my best guitar
There’ll be a jukebox jumping on Jupiter
And a honky-tonk on Mars
In the last frontier they’ll stand and cheer
The best music ever known
They’ll celebrate that age old day
When country took the throne

Now from Carolina to California, Texas to New York
They can’t get enough of this country stuff
And they’re screaming for more
We painted the town with that grand old sound
And the whole world sang along
Yes, I was there the day
When country took the throne

I said I was there the day
When country took the throne

If I was runnin’ this country
I’d start it over from scratch
Keep what’s good, pile up what’s bad
And then I’d strike the match
Yeah, we’d go back to the basics
Of how things ought to be
Yeah, there’d be a lot of changes
If it was left up to me

‘Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That’s what this country needs

Now if you want to hear about livin’
Just twist that radio dial
‘Til you come to a singer singin’
What life is all about
‘Cause you can’t deny that people still cry
They laugh and they smile and they hurt
And that’s my humble opinion y’all
You can take it for what it’s worth

‘Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
And put a litte fiddle right in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That’s what this country needs

Yeah, turn it on up and let it ring out
Across the land of the free
They ought to build a statue of Hand Williams, Sr.
In Washington, D.C.

‘Cause what this country needs
Is a little more steel guitar
Yeah and put a sawin’ fiddle right square in the middle
Straight out of a Texas bar
And ya’ll give us a song, we can all sing along
From sea to shining sea
Be proud of it and always love it
That’s what this country needs

You just be proud of it and always love it
And that’s what this country needs
