More Of What Matters

Well, I, I woke up one morning

With everything I own around me

A pocket full of money

And a cold and empty heart

I spent a lifetime chasing rainbows

Watching life go by through windows

And I bet a rich man's fortune

On this worthless house and cars

It took me way too long to find

That the best things in life are free

And the rest ain't worth a dime

I need more of what matters

Every moment that I have it

'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go

If spinning wheels and climbing ladders

Is all there is, well, then I'd rather

Go to heaven empty-handed

Knowing that I got it right

I need more of what matters

More of what really matters in my life

And it got me thinking

Hey, whatever happened to sunshine and roses

And walking down a dirt road on a lazy summer day?

Or supper with the family after early church on Sunday?

You know, ain't all that funny how the time just slips away?

It took me way too long to find

That the best things in life are free

And the rest ain't worth a dime

I need more of what matters

Every moment that I have it

'Cause it's all that you take with you when you go

If spinning wheels and climbing ladders

Is all there is, well, then I'd rather

Go to heaven empty-handed

Knowing that I got it right

I need more of what matters

More of what really matters in my life

Mm-mm-mm
