Songtext von Stood Up

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 Chorus
