I was fifteen 
left home young 
tore up the drags and then some 
me and my dad didn't see eye to eye 
i never took to him 
he never took the time 

bullet proof 
more then tough 
smarter then 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 
thats the measure of a man 

yeah 
the measure of a man 

anger burns 
love cools it down 
prettty young woman turned my head around 
the world through her eyes looks so different 
she lives on faith 
she looks for forgiveness 

full proof 
it aint easy 
i need her 
she needs me 

well she stole my heart on this highway 
she taught me to love through the hard days 

yeah 
shes cool and i'm not 
shes steady as a rock 
shes as solid as the ring on my hand 

thats 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 
thats the measure of a man 

oh yeah 
the measure of a man
