Kevin Sharp - Measure Of A Man lyrics
[Kevin Sharp - Measure Of A Man lyrics]
I may never buy me a big house
A Cadillac, cruisin' with the top down
That ain't the way I am
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
I'm not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give not what you take
It's being strong and true
To those countin' on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
I give an honest day's work
For an honest day's pay
I'll stand behind every word I say
I'll seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If I'm a few rungs short of
The top of the ladder
When I meet my maker what will it matter
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give not what you take
It's being stong and true
To those countin' on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's a measure of a man
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's a measure of a man
That's a measure of a man
A Cadillac, cruisin' with the top down
That ain't the way I am
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
I'm not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give not what you take
It's being strong and true
To those countin' on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
I give an honest day's work
For an honest day's pay
I'll stand behind every word I say
I'll seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If I'm a few rungs short of
The top of the ladder
When I meet my maker what will it matter
That ain't the measure of a man
It ain't how far you go
It ain't how much you make
Son, it's what you give not what you take
It's being stong and true
To those countin' on you
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's a measure of a man
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's a measure of a man
That's a measure of a man
