Measure of a Man 2 chords

Gb                    C#
When I was fifteen, I left home young
Gb                          B
Tore up the tracks and then some
Gb                   C#
Me and my dad didn't see eye to eye
Gb                   B
I never took to him, he never took the time
Gb            C#
Bullet proof, more than tough
Gb              B
Smarter than he ever was

CHORUS
       Gb                           C#
Well I burned those wheels down the highway
      Gb                         B
And I learned what I learned the hard way
       Gb                    C#
Do the best you can do, love many, trust few
     Gb                         B
Work hard for the money in your hands
                        Gb     C#
That's the measure of a man
                      Gb      B

Yeah the measure of a man
Gb           C#
Anger burns, love cools it down
Gb                           B
Pretty young woman turned my head around
Gb                                   C#
The world through her eyes looked so different
    Gb                  B
She lives on faith, she looks for forgiveness
Gb          C#
Fool proof, it ain't easy
Gb          B
I need her, she needs me

CHORUS
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 as 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

CHORUS
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
