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 |

(aaron tippin/butch curry)
It's taken me some time to read the writing on the wall But I have finaly figured out just what's been going on And I need to tell you what I've learned before you turn to go There's things about that other man I think you should know The man that came between us was looking out for number one He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to see That man that came between us was me I know I'm sorry don't make up for half the tears you've cried And I can't promise miracles but I swear to God I'll try 'cause if you'll give me half a chance I'll love you like I should Honey, your lovin' man's come home again And that stranger's gone for good The man that came between us was looking out for number one He didn't care how bad he hurt you by the selfish things he'd done But looking in the mirror, today, I finally came to seed That man that came between us was me Oh honey, the man that came between us was me |

With every drink I take, it's gettin' harder to recall
And I ain't gonna stop until I forget it all 'Cause once upon a time she used to love me so But that was many, many, many beers ago All my tin can buddies that help me ease the pain One by one they remind me she's not coming back again Just how long she's been gone I can't say I really know Lord, it's been many, many, many beers ago I don't need a watch or a clock on the wall To tell me just how long it took for me to lose it all And this gettin' over her is going pretty slow It's been many, many, many beers ago Yeah, all my tin can buddies that help me ease the pain One by one they remind me she's not coming back again Just how long she's been gone I can't say I really know But it's been many, many, many beers ago Yes, it's been many, many, many beers ago |

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 |

If you're lost and you're alone
Let me sing you a song Oh, you're not the only lonely one tonight I know what you're goin' through I can sympathize with you I've been wakin' in your shoes all my life I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart If the sun should ever shine in your life Well, friend, that's fine And may you leave behind these old troubled times that we've shared Oh, but don't look back for me I'm where I'm supposed to be And anywhere there's a lonely street I'll be there I was born with a broken heart Born to lose right from the start Raised on hand-me-down blues That's why I sing the way I do A sad six string and a jukebox voice I'm the lonely people's choice I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart Yes, I was made to play the part I was born with a broken heart |

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. |

She's been staring out the window four nights in a row
Like a caged up tiger, she's pacing the floor And she just can't resist when she feels the pull She's got a restless spirit that she can't control And when she gets like this, I gotta let her go She hears the call of the wild every once in a while She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere She can turn it loose and howl I know what's in store, Katie bar the door When she winks at me and smiles She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin' Love making state of mind So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild If there's ever been a lady, well, baby is Just more of a woman at times like this Now, don't you worry about baby stepping out of line Yeah, she drives me crazy, but it suits me fine She's hard to handle, so I hold on tight And Lord knows I got my hands full tonight She hears the call of the wild every once in a while She lets down her hair, she's gotta get somewhere She can turn it loose and howl I know what's in store, Katie bar the door When she winks at me and smiles She's in a foot stompin,' honky-tonkin' Love making state of mind So excuse me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild I said pardon me, y'all, I gotta answer the call of the wild |

Her last lonely teardrop fell
Along about nine o'clock His memory was history Before she hit the parking lot She busted through them swingin' doors Sashaying to and fro She's got a new attitude yes she's over that dude And she wants the world to know that (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight Just like a kid in a candy store She's checking out the merchandise But she wants to find the keeping kind Who will keep her satisfied And he's gotta be strong gotta be tough And he's gotta have a tender touch So if you fit the bill brother don't sit still Come on step right up 'cause (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight (Oh yes) She feels like a brand new man tonight She didn't come in here to hang her head and cry She's through throwing good love away On some boy that don't treat her right She feels like a brand new man tonight I said she feels like a brand new man tonight |

There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station
He said Music City is my destination He said The whole wide world's gonna sing my song And you can take that to the bank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He got a furnished room and a job at the market He kept a little notebook in his back pocket And every time you'd see him he was writing a song And he would never leave one piece blank (he'd say) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank He sang when no one would listen So he sang until they hung on every word Ah then one day his phone started ringing They said we want you and the songs you've been singing And the kid said fine, just give me some time To talk to my patron saint (you see) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank (Yes sir,) That night as he laid in the darkness Ol' Luke the drifter came to him and said Oh now here's your chance boy go on and take it You sing from the heart and you're gonna make it But if anybody tries to change you Into something that you ain't (you tell 'em) I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank I'm on a mission I'm on a mission I'm on a mission from Hank |

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 |

Sit down honey gotta have us a talk
Your man is a little upset There's a couple of things that's been missing And I ain't found 'em yet I ain't pointing no fingers Ain't layin' no blame And I don't wanna lose my cool But you just don't fool With a country boy's tool Tool box Now did I hear you right You loaned 'em out To the neighbor down the road Hey I'd just as soon You'd let him have my old bird dog Or my favorite fishing pole Now there's one little lesson That they just don't teach in school You just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box CHORUS It was handed down From my daddy's dad Back in ninteen forty-two And they may be rusty and they might be old But they're kinda like my family jewels Honey I love you But there's something else too That I care about a heck of a lot Oh you just just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box Now I don't wanna hurt your tender heart And I really do understand That a friend in need is a friend indeed And you offer a helping hand But if something gets broke and it's gotta be fixed Well I don't blame you know who 'Cause you just don't fool with a country boy's tool Tool box |

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 |

I ain't told nobody 'bout the trouble I got on me
Kept my tears to myself so no one in the world could see No, I ain't let on the truth to a living soul So how's the radio know How's the radio know she left How's the radio know I did her wrong Every record that DJ spins Is a good-love-gone-bad song How's the radio know I miss her And I'd die to tell her so Oh, how's the radio know He played one about a fool who's choked up with regret Then one about a woman that a man won't ever forget Played back-to-back heartbreakers in a row How's the radio know How's the radio know she left How's the radio know I did her wrong Every record that DJ spins Is a good-love-gone-bad song How's the radio know I miss her And I'd die to tell her so Oh, how's the radio know Maybe she's tuned in, so Mister DJ, please Play a song that's filled with sweet apologies Then crank it up so the signal's loud and strong Help me bring her back home, help me bring her back home How's the radio know she left How's the radio know I did her wrong Every record that DJ spins Is a good-love-gone-bad song How's the radio know I miss her And I'd die to tell her so Oh, how's the radio know Oh, how's the radio know |
