All That Matters (Acoustic)

She said, "I was young once, darlin'

I never gave up

I've seen trouble come through my door

Rain poured down like there's no tomorrow

Raised three children in the same room

And thirty years later, I'll raise you

I watched him run out, he ain't come back

But that's just life, and I can't change that

Darlin', trouble comes and trouble goes

But Tom, you really ought to know

That love is all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end

That's all that matters in the end"

She said, "You can stay tough, darlin'

It runs in your blood

There were nights that I never slept

The world weighed heavy upon my chest

I took on cancer and I raved through

Eleven years later, still with you

So don't you ever give up on hope

'Cause you might break, but you won't stay broke

And darlin', trouble comes and trouble goes

But Tom, you really ought to know

That love is all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end"

I said, "I swear I'm gonna do you proud," oh-oh, oh-oh

Hold on to all this love I found

When I'm old, I'll say the same things to my kids

Give 'em what you gave me, I'll tell 'em everything you said

That love is all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end

Can't spend your money when you're dead

Can't live this life again

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters

Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love, least we got love

That's all that matters in the end

That's all that matters in the end
