Jack Ingram-Measure Of A Man |
| [00:15.71][00:00.89] |
|
| [00:18.04] |
When I was fifteen, |
| [00:19.67] |
I left home young |
| [00:21.82] |
Tore up the tracks and then some |
| [00:26.29] |
Me and my dad |
| [00:28.38] |
didn't see eye to eye |
| [00:30.54] |
I never took to him, |
| [00:32.60] |
he never took the time |
| [00:35.29] |
Bullet proof, |
| [00:37.66] |
more than tough |
| [00:39.20] |
Smarter than he ever was |
| [00:43.04] |
|
| [00:43.48] |
Well I burned those wheels down the highway |
| [00:47.46] |
And I learned what I learned the hard way |
| [00:51.85] |
Do the best you can do, |
| [00:53.98] |
love many, trust few |
| [00:56.23] |
Work hard for the money in your hands |
| [01:01.93] |
That's the measure of a man |
| [01:05.85] |
|
| [01:06.40] |
Yeah the measure of a man |
| [01:09.54] |
|
| [01:12.34] |
Anger burns, |
| [01:14.28] |
love cools it down |
| [01:16.41] |
Pretty young woman |
| [01:18.34] |
turned my head around |
| [01:20.60] |
The world through her eyes |
| [01:22.62] |
looked so different |
| [01:24.47] |
She lives on faith, |
| [01:26.93] |
she looks for forgiveness |
| [01:29.34] |
Fool proof, it ain't easy |
| [01:34.03] |
I need her, she needs me |
| [01:37.75] |
|
| [01:38.10] |
She stole my heart on this highway |
| [01:41.85] |
She taught me to love |
| [01:44.12] |
through the hard days |
| [01:46.25] |
Yeah she's cool when I'm not, |
| [01:48.87] |
she's as steady as a rock |
| [01:50.87] |
She's as solid as the ring on my hand |
| [01:55.68] |
That's the measure of a man |
| [01:59.34] |
|
| [02:00.97] |
Yeah the measure of a man |
| [02:15.95][02:04.43] |
|
| [02:16.19] |
Last night she handed me a son of my own |
| [02:19.80] |
It killed me to do it, |
| [02:21.73] |
but I picked up the phone |
| [02:24.12] |
|
| [02:26.10] |
Hey dad I burned ten years down this highway |
| [02:29.95] |
And I learned what I learned the hard way |
| [02:34.42] |
Truth is I need you, |
| [02:36.64] |
we'll cry if we need to |
| [02:38.86] |
And I'll swallow my pride if you can |
| [02:43.21] |
That's the measure of a man |
| [02:46.96] |
|
| [02:48.08] |
Oh yeah, the measure of a man |
| [03:07.83][02:51.91] |
