You can give a man your word, but make him earn your trust
Don't ever start a fight, but end it if you must
Listen to your mama, 'cause she'd never steer wrong
Buy an old guitar, write some country songs
These are words of wisdom that my daddy shared with me
Put God first, love until it hurts
Raise a family on a little piece of land
Stand your ground, don't you ever back down
'Cause son that's the measure of a man
He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man
If you give someone an inch, they're bound to take a mile
Always find the time, to be there for your child
Always save some money, for a rainy day
And don't you be ashamed, to bow your heads and pray
Put God first, love until it hurts
Raise a family on a little piece of land
Stand your ground, don't you ever back down
'Cause son that's the measure of a man
He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man
Put God first, love until it hurts
Raise a family on a little piece of land
Stand your ground, don't you ever back down
'Cause son that's the measure of a man
He said, son that's the measure that's the measure of a man
