I stood up for the first time when i was just eleven months old
And ever since that day mama said i never done what i was told
I never stood for nothing too much all through my schooling years
But i stood as much as i could stand
I guess that's why i'm still standing here

Chorus ~
And then i stood up when love called my name baby
I stood up even when that love was all in vain baby
I got stood up once and left out in the pouring rain baby
And then i stood up and i'll do it again

Guess i never understood what she could do with all that flaming red hair
I could not stand the heat in the kitchen so jack i got on out of there
I stood up to get a pack of cigarettes down at the corner store
And now she's standing in some corner of my heart behind the kitchen

Screen door

Chorus

I don't know about you
There's a lot of things i never stood up to
Even when i turn and walk away
I guess that's why i'm standing on my own two feet today

They gave last call for alcohol and no one has to carry me home
You see i only work here now man
My drinking days are long gone
I couldn't stand up after one no
'till twenty had me down on the floor
The first one doesn't get you
Even though i'm still the last one out the door
