英文乡村歌曲：Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter

Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
He can't past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
5 o'clock he's that last one out of the gate
And he gets cut off flipped¹ off ticked off out on the interstate
And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone
Till he hears that little voice “daddy's home”
Things that matter
Things that don't

She's held on to that grudge² 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 ballets³ first date
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
