Measure Of A Man

When I was fifteen,

I left home young

Tore up the tracks and then some

Me and my dad

didn't see eye to eye

I never took to him,

he never took the time

Bullet proof,

more than tough

Smarter than he ever was

Well I burned those wheels down the highway

And I learned what I learned the hard way

Do the best you can do,

love many, trust few

Work hard for the money in your hands

That's the measure of a man

Yeah the measure of a man

Anger burns,

love cools it down

Pretty young woman

turned my head around

The world through her eyes

looked so different

She lives on faith,

she looks for forgiveness

Fool proof, it ain't easy

I need her, she needs me

She stole my heart on this highway

She taught me to love

through the hard days

Yeah she's cool when I'm not,

she's as steady as a rock

She's as solid as the ring on my hand

That's the measure of a man

Yeah the measure of a man

Last night she handed me a son of my own

It killed me to do it,

but I picked up the phone

Hey dad I burned ten years down this highway

And I learned what I learned the hard way

Truth is I need you,

we'll cry if we need to

And I'll swallow my pride if you can

That's the measure of a man

Oh yeah, the measure of a man
