	D	Asus4
	When I was fifteen, I	left home young

	Em7	G
	Tore up the tracks and	then some

	D	Asus4
	Me and my dad didn't	see eye to eye

	Em7	G
I	never took to him, he	never took the time

	Bm	A
	Bulletproof	, more than tough

G (NC)

Smarter than he ever was

CHORUS

	D	Asus4
Well I	burned those wheels down the	highway

	Em7	G
And I	learned what I learned the	hard way

	D	Asus4
Do the	best you can do, love	many, trust few

	Em7	G
Work	hard for the money in your	hands

(NC) D Asus4

That's the measure of a man

	Em7	G
Yeah the measure of a	man

	D	Asus4
	Anger burns,	love cools it down

	Em7	G
	Pretty young woman turned my	head around

	D	Asus4
The	world through her eyes looks	so different

	Em7	G
She	lives on faith, she	looks for forgiveness

	Bm	A
	Foolproof,	it ain't easy

	G
	I need her, she needs me and

	D	Asus4
She	stole my heart on this	highway

	Em7	G
She	taught me to love through the	hard days

	D	Asus4
Yeah she's	cool when I'm not, she's as	steady as a rock

	Em7	G
She's as	solid as the ring on	my hand

	D	Asus4
That's the measure of a	man

	Em7	G
Yeah the measure of a	man

(Repeat chord progression 1 time during instrumental)

	Bm	A
	Last night she handed me a	son of my own

	G
It	killed me to do it, but I picked up the phone

(Palm muted/fingerpicked/quietly)

	D	Asus4
Hey dad I	burned ten years down this	highway

	Em7	G
And I	learned what I learned the	hard way

	D	Asus4
Truth is	I need you, we'll cry if we	need to

	Em7	G
And I'll	swallow my pride if	you can

	D	Asus4
That's the measure of a	man

	Em7	G
Oh yeah, the measure of a	ma-a	n
