Measure Of A Man

I may never buy me a big house A Cadillac, cruising 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 counting on you It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand, that's the measure of a man I give an honest days 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 strong and true to those counting on you It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand, that's the measure of a man It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand, that's the measure of a man That's the measure of a man That's the measure of a man That's the measure of a man
