Measure Of A Man

In the style of

Jack Ingram

Lyrics

when i was fifteen
left home young
tore up the tracks
and then some

well me and my dad
didn't see eye to eye
i never took to him
he never took
the time

bulletproof
more than tough
but 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

foolproof
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 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
