Letra de Stood Up
I stood up for the first time

When I was just eleven months old

And ever since that day, my 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

Yes, and



CHORUS:

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

But I stood up

And I'd do it again



I guess she never understood what she could do

With all her flaming red hair

But I could not stand the heat in her kitchen

So, Jack, I got out of there



I stood up to get a pack of cigarettes

Down at the corner store

New she's standing in some corner of my heart

Behind the kitchen screen door



REPEAT CHORUS:



I don't know about you

But there's a lot of things I never stood up to

Even as I turned and walked away

I guess that's why I'm standing on my own

two feet today



Now 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

'Til twenty had me down on the floor

Now the first one doesn't get me

Even though I'm still the last one out the door



REPEAT CHORUS
