Measure Of A Man lyrics

I may never buy me a big house
A Cadillac, cruising with the top down
That aint the way I am

I judge a man by the gold on the inside
Im not fooled by the glitter on the outside
That aint the measure of a man

It aint how far you go
It aint how much you make
Son, its what you give
Not what you take
Its being strong and true
To those countin` on you
Its lendin a hand, makin a stand
Thats the measure of a man

I give an honest days work for an honest days pay
Ill stand behind every word I say
Ill seal a deal with a shake of a hand
If Im a few rungs short of the top of the ladder
When I meet my maker what will it matter
That aint the measure of a man

It aint how far you go
It aint how much you make
Son, its what you give
Not what you take
Its being strong and true
To those countin` on you
Its lendin a hand, makin a stand
Thats the measure of a man

Its lendin a hand, makin a stand
Thats the measure of a man
Oh thats the measure of a man
Thats the measure of a man
Thats the measure of a man
