I haven't really found a tab for this great song so I figured I'd share how
I play it. You can listen to the song for the strum pattern. It sounds
awesome acoustic. This is my first tab so please leave me some feedback and
let me know if you liked it or if you found any mistakes! Have fun!

Intro
G D Am C x2
GWhen I was fifteen, I lDeft home young
AmTore up the tracks and theCn some

AmI never took to him, he neverC took the time
EmBullet proof, moDre than tough
C (hold)
Smarter than he ever was
CHORUS
GWell I burned those wheels down theD highway
And I Emlearned what I learned the haCrd way
Do the beGst you can do, love many,D trust few
Work haEmrd for the money in your haCnds
That's the measure of a Gman
DYeah the measure of a Amman C
GAnger burns, lDove cools it down
AmPretty young woman turned my heCad around

She liveAms on faith, she looCks for forgiveness

CI need her, she Dneeds me
CHORUS
She stGole my heart on this higDhway
She tAmaught me to love through the hCard days

She's as sAmolid as the ring on my haCnd
That's the measure of a mGan
