Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My daddy wore work boots
By the edge of the red clay
He said, son, keep your word
Even when it costs you pay
I learned a flag is more than cloth
It’s the names we leave behind
It’s the hands that build this town
And the backbone in your spine
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m on my feet
I’m not backing down
I hear that old truth
Rolling through this ground
[Chorus]
Stand for something
Stand for something
If we don’t stand for something
We’ll fall for anything
Stand for something
Stand for something
Keep your chin up high
And let your boots ring
[Verse 2]
I seen hard times on the porch
And hope in a mason jar
Mama prayed for truth and mercy
Underneath that faded star
We ain’t perfect, we get bruised
But we don’t bend to shame
We raise our kids to tell it straight
And honor every name
[Pre-Chorus]
So I’m on my feet
I’m not backing down
I hear that old truth
Rolling through this ground
[Chorus]
Stand for something
Stand for something
If we don’t stand for something
We’ll fall for anything
Stand for something
Stand for something
Keep your chin up high
And let your boots ring
[Bridge]
Let the crooked lines get checked
Let the weak keep finding steel
Let the ones who’ve gone before us
Know we meant what we feel
From the river to the ridge
From the barn to the square
We hold this line together
With a prayer and hard-earned care
[Chorus]
Stand for something
Stand for something
If we don’t stand for something
We’ll fall for anything
Stand for something
Stand for something
Keep your chin up high
And let your boots ring
[Outro]
Stand for something
Stand for something
Yeah, we’ll stand for something
