Big Sugar was a Canadian blues-rock band. The band, consisting of vocalist/guitarist Gordie Johnson, bassist Terry Wilkins and drummer Al Cross, officially formed in 1991, although the three musicians had already played together for several years as an informal jam band with members of the Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, and as a supporting band for Molly Johnson's jazz performances. (Molly Johnson and Gordie Johnson are not related.) After Molly Johnson returned to rock music with Infidels, she helped her former bandmates to secure a record deal; their self-titled debut album was released in 1991 on Hypnotic Records. Wilkins left in 1993, and the band recorded the album Five Hundred Pounds with the help of guest musicians, including Kelly Hoppe (also known as Mr. Chill) and Garry Lowe, who would subsequently become official members of the band.

Where I Stand Lyrics
Big Sugar
(G. Johnson/C. Johnson/K. Hoppe)
I've been haunted
'Cause I've wanted
Yes I've wanted to ask you
Would you steal
And then kneel
Like that feelings comfort you?
I've got a feeling
That you're stealing
And no healing could get through
Understand
Where I stand
And what I'm trying to say to you
I don't have
What you have
Lord, there's some things I won't do
When you're dying
No more lying
No more crying for you to do
Understand
Where I stand
What I am, what I do
Some folks say
Judgment Day
Time to pay
But when you lay
In decay
Too late to pray
Understand
Where I stand
And what I say
