Verse 1
CmHe Wakes Before The Daylight When The D#Stars Still Rule The Sky.
A#Coffee Black, His Boots Worn Down, The FCmire Still In His Eyes.
The World Don't Pay Much Mind To Men Who D#Labor With Their Hands,
But He Was A#Raised To Understand The Earth RemCmembers Honest Men.

No Search, No Crowns, No Gold To Show, Just D#Callous Proof Of Pride.
Each A#Scar A Mark Of What He's Built Or WCmhat He's Kept Alive.
He Don't Talk Much Of Dreams Or Wealth, Just D#Truth And Working By,
A A#Man's Worth Ain't In What He Owns, It's ICmn How Hard He Tries.

Verse
He Learned From His Old Father How To D#Stand And Never Cheat,
That A#Every Deal, Each Handshake Made, Should SCmtart An Incomplete.
He Don't Chase After Easy Roads Or D#Beg For What He Earns,
He A#Trusts The Sweat That Builds A Home And ECmvery Scar That Burns.

The Young Men Calling Most Schools Say Is D#Way Out Of Time,
But A#Honor Never Goes Extinct; It OCmutlives In His Sign.
He Bows His Head Each Evening, Not For D#Praise Or Golden Hand,
Just A#Thankfully He's Still Strong Enough To FCmace Another Stand.
G#  He Ain't A Saint, But What He Is Is Proof That Truth Still Lives In This.

Chorus
He's The CmMeasure Of A Man, Built From D#Grit, From Heart, From Land.
He Don't Talk A#Loud, He Walks It True, A Steady SCmoul The World Once New.
In Every G#Loss, In Every PA#lan, You'll Find The MeCmasure Of A Man.

Verse
He's Know The Sting Of Failure The D#Weight Of Being Broke
But A#Never Once Has Cursed His Lot Or LCmet His Promise Choke
CmHe's Buried Friends He's Lost His Youth
He's D#Bled Through Wind And Rain
Bur A#Faith To Him Ain't Made Of Worlds
It's CmBuilt Through Honest Pain

He's The Kind Of Man You Count On When D#Everything Goes Wrong
The A#Quiet One Who Lifts You Up And HCmelps You To Stay Strong
And When His Story's Finally Told BeD#neath That Southern Span
They'll Say He A#Left This World The Same Way That He RCman
You Can't Buy What He Carries It's The D#Rarest Kind Of Brand
A A#Soul That Keeps It's Word And DCmirt Within It's Hand

Chorus
He's The CmMeasure Of A Man, Built From D#Grit, From Heart, From Land.
He Don't Talk A#Loud, He Walks It True, A Steady SCmoul The World Once New.
In Every G#Loss, In Every PA#lan, You'll Find The MeCmasure Of A Man.

Bridge
When The G#World Forgets The Meaning Of WA#hat It Means To Stand
ReCmmember Those Who Built It All With D#Tired Blistered Hands
For G#Legacies Aren't Written In WA#ealth Or Fleet In Fame
They G7Live In Every Honest Heart That Carries On His Name

He's The CmMeasure Of A Man Not Carved In D#Gold
But In The Sand He Gave His A#Sweat, His Word, His Soul
To CmKeep His Family GmWhole And When HisCm Work Is Finally Done
He'll Rest BeD#neath The Setting Sun
No Greater A#Story Ever Ran Than The MCmeasure Of A Man

Chorus

He Don't Talk A#Loud, He Walks It True, A Steady SCmoul The World Once New.
In Every G#Loss, In Every PA#lan, You'll Find The MeCmasure Of A Man.
