John Hiatt - Stood Up Lyrics
I stood up for the first timeWhen I was just eleven months oldAnd ever since that day, my mama saidI never done what I was toldI never stood for nothing too muchAll through my schooling yearsBut I stood as much as I could standI guess thats why Im still standing hereYes, andChorus:I stood upWhen love called my name, babyI stood upEven when that love was all in vain, babyI got stood up onceAnd left out in the pouring rain, babyBut I stood upAnd Id do it againI guess she never understood what she could doWith all her flaming red hairBut I could not stand the heat in her kitchenSo, jack, I got out of thereI stood up to get a pack of cigarettesDown at the corner storeNew shes standing in some corner of my heartBehind the kitchen screen doorChorusI dont know about youBut theres a lot of things I never stood up toEven as I turned and walked awayI guess thats why Im standing on my ownTwo feet todayNow they gave last call for alcoholAnd no one has to carry me homeYou see I only work here now manMy drinking days are long goneI couldnt stand up after one, notil twenty had me down on the floorNow the first one doesnt get meEven though Im still the last one out the doorChorus
