Measure of a Man Lyrics

You can give a man your word, but make him earn your trust

Don't ever start a fight, but end it if you must

Listen to your mama, 'cause she'd never steer wrong

Buy an old guitar, write some country songs

These are words of wisdom that my daddy shared with me

Put God first, love until it hurts

Raise a family on a little piece of land

Stand your ground, don't you ever back down

'Cause son that's the measure of a man

He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man

If you give someone an inch, they're bound to take a mile

Always find the time, to be there for your child

Always save some money, for a rainy day

And don't you be ashamed, to bow your heads and pray

Put God first, love until it hurts

Raise a family on a little piece of land

Stand your ground, don't you ever back down

'Cause son that's the measure of a man

He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man

Put God first, love until it hurts

Raise a family on a little piece of land

Stand your ground, don't you ever back down

'Cause son that's the measure of a man

He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man
