Things That Matter

                                  Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head

He can't see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk

Five oclock he's that last one out of the gate

And he gets cut off flipped off ticked off out on the interstate

And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone

Till he hears a little voice holler 'daddy's home'

Things that matter

Things that don't



She's held on to that grudge all her life

Had thirty years of anger

Since her dad walked out that night

She thinks of all the moments that he's missed

All the birthdays ballets first dates

That seems too much to forget

She gets that call that said he don't have long

She walks in

He starts crying

The past is gone

Things that matter

Things that don't



Time ain't on my side

Don't want to leave this world

With why didn't I?

Why didn't I?

Yeah why didn't I?



Sometimes I take on this world by myself

Thinking I got all the answers

Don't need anybody's help

Well god was right there waiting for me all along

To fall down on my knees surrender all

Things that matter

Things that don't

Things that matter

Things that don't
