Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter lyrics

rate me

Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head<br />

He can't see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk<br />

5 o'clock, he's the last one out of the gate<br />

And he gets cut off, flipped off, ticked off, out on the interstate<br />

<br />

And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone<br />

Till he hears that little voice holler, "Daddy's home"<br />

Things that matter, things that don't<br />

<br />

She's held on to that grudge all her life<br />

And thirty years of anger, since her dad walked out that night<br />

She thinks of all the moments that he's missed<br />

All the birthdays, ballets, first dates, it seems too much to forget<br />

<br />

She gets that call that said he don't have long<br />

She walks in, he starts crying, the past is gone<br />

Things that matter, things that don't<br />

<br />

Time ain't on our side<br />

Don't wanna leave this world with<br />

"Why didn't I? Why didn't I?"<br />

Yeah, why didn't I?<br />

<br />

Sometimes I take on this world by myself<br />

Thinking I got all the answers, don't need anybody's help<br />

Well, God was right there waiting for me all along<br />

To fall down on my knees, surrender all<br />

<br />

Things that matter, things that don't<br />

Things that matter, things that don't<br /><br />
