WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN
LEFT HOME YOUNG
TORE UP THE TRACKS
AND THEN SOME
WELL ME AND MY DAD
DIDN'T SEE EYE TO EYE
I NEVER TOOK TO HIM
HE NEVER TOOK
THE TIME
BULLETPROOF
MORE THAN TOUGH
BUT SMARTER THAN
HE EVER WAS
WELL I BURNED THOSE
WHEELS DOWN
THE HIGHWAY
AND I LEARNED
WHAT I LEARNED
THE HARD WAY
DO THE BEST
YOU CAN DO
LOVE MANY
TRUST FEW
WORK HARD FOR
THE MONEY IN
YOUR HANDS
THAT'S THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
YEAH THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
ANGER BURNS
LOVE COOLS IT DOWN
PRETTY YOUNG
WOMAN
TURNED MY
HEAD AROUND
THE WORLD THROUGH
HER EYES
LOOKED SO
DIFFERENT
SHE LIVES ON FAITH
SHE LOOKS FOR
FORGIVENESS
FOOLPROOF
IT AIN'T EASY
I NEED HER
SHE NEEDS ME
SHE STOLE MY HEART
ON THIS HIGHWAY
SHE TAUGHT ME
TO LOVE THROUGH
THE HARD DAYS
YEAH SHE'S COOL
WHEN I'M NOT
SHE'S STEADY
AS A ROCK
SHE'S AS SOLID
AS THE RING
ON MY HAND
THAT'S THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
YEAH THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
LAST NIGHT
SHE HANDED ME
A SON OF MY OWN
IT KILLED ME TO DO IT
BUT I PICKED UP
THE PHONE
HEY DAD I BURNED
TEN YEARS DOWN
THIS HIGHWAY
AND I LEARNED
WHAT I LEARNED
THE HARD WAY
TRUTH IS I NEED YOU
WE'LL CRY
IF WE NEED TO
AND I'LL SWALLOW
MY PRIDE
IF YOU CAN
THAT'S THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
OH YEAH
THE MEASURE
OF A MAN
