The Measure of a Man

Lyrics

You may never buy me a big house A Cadillac to cruise in 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's not how far you go It's not how much you make Boy, it's what you give Not what you take It's being strong and true To those counting on you It's lending a hand And making a stand That's the measure of a man Give an honest day's work For an honest day's pay And stand behind every word you say Seal a deal with a shake of your hand If you're a few rungs short Of the top of the ladder When your meet your maker What will it matter That ain't the measure of a man It's not how far you go It's not how much you make Boy, it's what you give Not what you take It's being strong and true To those counting on you It's lending a hand And making a stand That's the measure of a man It's not how far you go It's not how much you make Boy, it's what you give Not what you take It's being strong and true To those counting on you It's lending a hand And making a stand That's the measure of a man It's lending a hand And making a stand That's the measure of a man
