Measure Of A Man Lyrics - Measure Of A Man - Kevin Sharp

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
