D A4   Em G 
1st Verse 
     D
When I was fifteen
A4 
Left home young 
Em                     G
Tore up the tracks and then some
D 
Well, me and my Dad 
A4       
Didn't see eye to eye 
  Em
I never took to him 
   G
He never took the time 

Pre Chorus
Bm
Bullet-proof 
A
More than tough 
G
Was smarter than he ever was  

1st Chorus 
        D                            A4
Well, I burned those wheels down the highway
      Em                         G 
And I learned what I learned the hard way
       D 
Do the best you can do
           A4
Love many, trust few 
     Em                         G
Work hard for the money in your hands 
                            D
That's the measure of a man  
   A4                     Em  G
Oh Yeah, the measure of a man  

2nd Verse 
D
Anger burns 
A4
Love cools it down 
Em                           G
Pretty young woman turned my head around 
D                                    A4
The world through her eyes looked so different 
    Em
She lives on faith 
        G
And she looks for forgiveness

It ain't easy 
G
I need her, and she needs me  

2nd Chorus 
        D                      A4
But she stole my heart on this highway 
        Em                            G
And she taught me to love through the hard days 
            D
Yeah, she's cool when I'm not 
      A4
She's steady as a rock 
         Em                      G
She's as solid as the ring on my hand 
                            D
That's the measure of a man  
   A4                     Em  G
Oh Yeah, the measure of a man  

Bridge 
Bm                         A
Last night she handed me a son 'a my own 
   G
It killed me to do it, but I picked up the phone 

Tag Chorus 
           D                          A4
Hey Dad, I burned ten years down this highway 
      Em                         G
And I learned what I learned the hard way 
          D
Truth is, I need you 
             A4
We'll cry if we need to 
         Em                      G 
And I'll swallow my pride if you can 
                            D
That's the measure of a man  
   A4                     Em  G
Oh yeah, the measure of a man
