Measure of a Man

	(Larry Boone/Rick Bowles)
	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 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
	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
	That’s the measure of a man
