Rascal Flatts - Things That Matter Lyrics






Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
He can’t see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
Five o’clock 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 that 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

    This is the way Rascal Flatts  say don't ""weat the small stuff". My mother would tell me Nothing will matter a hundred years from now. Just keep breathing in and out. Know that you have help if you want it. Hope everything is much better for you. Love and prayers.

    R.... S....

    I'm here because of rascal flatts.

  27. A.... E....

    This song describes my dad perfectly, however I am no longer mad at him. After two years of holding a grudge and hating him, I can honestly say I am in a place where I can finally forgive him. It takes a lot of strength and will power to forgive someone and I don't think we can find that strength without God. 💚

  55. H.... P....

    Demi obviously brought me here as well. This song really opened my eyes. I have gone through very similar relationship with my father as Demi at a young age. My dad was given 2 more years to live recently. When I got that call I didn't want to open up but the more I think about it and the more I think about waisting his life leaving myself with "what if's" and so on really inspires me and push me to getting ahold of his soon before time runs out. Thank you Demi for brining me to listening to this song. Ily. Stay strong and RIP Patrick Lovato.

    H.... P....

  86. R.... N....

    This song reminds me of my Grandpa. He only came into my life a few months before he passed away. I spent a lot of my life mad at him, thinking I hated him, hated everything he put my mom through by not being there. My mom was mad too. I knew she was. All I knew was anger, until I met him. I'm so sorry Grandpa. I wish we had had more time, with all heart I wish I could've gotten to know you. In the end I know you regretted missing so much. No one tried as hard as they should've. RIP Grandpa Bert

  87. J.... H....

    love this

  88. L.... ....

    This is such a powerful song, and one of the reasons why I love Rascal Flatts. They INCLUDE God in their music, and have such a message with their songs.

  89. T.... S....

    If you were the grown up the argument wouldn't succeeded this far. You aren't grown up you're are as ignorant as you claim me to be.

  90. C.... F....

    You're obviously a racist piece of shit so i'll be the grown up here and extricate myself from this pointless argument. Few tips:
    -Don't, and I mean N-E-V-E-R, expose your ignorance for all to see
    -^In addition to this^ Don't reveal your racism either
    -Grow the fuck up.
    Have a nice day in hell.

  91. T.... S....

    Damn man you can correct one punctuation error. I'm proud so when are you gonna go get your English major since this is YouTube and you seem to think your punctuation is so great. When you have a good insult then you can take the time to comment. You haven't said anything insulting. You're still acting like a butt hurt faggot lol. You don't know my family or even me but you seem to wanna comment about them so original.

  92. C.... F....

    *you're
    *Use punctuation
    *you're
    Haha you're such an idiot.
    Did your real father ever take you to school? or milkman's salary is not enough, you illiterate little fool?
    No matter. No need to waste valuable money on a piece of shit like you.
    I wouldn't give you the dirt off my dog's foot because that's how incredibly worthless you are both to me and your wretched family.
    Oh, and, trying to use my own insult against me? Lame!
    Then again what could be expected by scum of the earth like you?

  93. T.... S....

    there is

  94. T.... S....

    Once again with the butt hurt comment that's good and little white nose? lol your wasting my time with this comment this nothing to come back on there isn't milkmen where i live and my dad isn't fucked up. You trying to say i got your life you seem to come up with things so well it must be the life you live

  95. T.... S....
