Measure Of A Man

D
I may never buy me a big house
D
A Cadillac, cruising with the top down
G D
That ain't the way I am
D
I judge a man by the gold on the inside
D
I'm not fooled by the glitter on the outside
G A D
That ain't the measure of a man
G
It ain't how far you go
D
It ain't how much you make
A
Son, it's what you give
D
Not what you take
G
It's being strong and true
D
To those counting on you
A
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
D
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
Chorus
It's lendin' a hand, makin' a stand
That's the measure of a man
That's the measure of a man
