Things That Matter
Sometimes he lets that boss get in his headHe can’t see past that mountain of deadlines on his deskFive o’clock he’s that last one out of the gateAnd he gets cut off flipped off ticked off out on the interstateAnd he wonders why this world won’t leave him aloneTill he hears that little voice holler “daddy’s home”Things that matterThings that don’t
She’s held on to that grudge all her lifeHad thirty years of angerSince her dad walked out that nightShe thinks of all the moments that he’s missedAll the birthdays ballets first datesThat seems too much to forgetShe gets that call that said he don’t have longShe walks inHe starts cryingThe past is goneThings that matterThings that don’t
Time ain’t on my sideDon’t want to leave this worldWith why didn’t I?Why didn’t I?Yeah why didn’t I?
Sometimes I take on this world by myselfThinking I got all the answersDon’t need anybody’s helpWell God was right there waiting for me all alongTo fall down on my knees surrender allThings that matterThings that don’tThings that matterThings that don’t
