Measure Of A Man
(Larry Boone/Rick Bowles)
I may never buy me a big house
A Cadillac, cruising with the top down
That ain뭪 the way I am
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
I뭢 not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That ain뭪 the measure of a man
It ain뭪 how far you go
It ain뭪 how much you make
Son, it뭩 what you give
Not what you take
It뭩 being strong and true
To those counting on you
It뭩 lendin?a hand, makin?a stand
That뭩 the measure of a man
I give an honest day뭩 work for an honest day뭩 pay
I뭠l stand behind every word I say
I뭠l seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If I뭢 a few rungs short of the top of the ladder
When I meet my maker what will it matter
That ain뭪 the measure of a man
It ain뭪 how far you go
It ain뭪 how much you make
Son, it뭩 what you give
Not what you take
It뭩 being strong and true
To those counting on you
It뭩 lendin?a hand, makin?a stand
That뭩 the measure of a man
It뭩 lendin?a hand, makin?a stand
That뭩 the measure of a man
That뭩 the measure of a man
