Sometimes he lets that boss get
In his head
He can´t see passed that mountain
Of deadlines on his desk
Five o´clock, he´s the 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
Til he hears that little voice holler
Daddy´s home

Things that matter
Things that don´t

She´s held on to that grudge
All her life
And 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
It 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 our side
Don´t wanna 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
Thinkin´ I got all the answers
Don´t need anybody´s help
When 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
