Lyrics What Matters Most - Craig Morgan

What Matters Most

No, it ain’t about the place he’s been living for the past 8 months
And it ain’t about the badges on his uniform
And it ain’t about the oil like they say it is in the news
You’ll never hear him say «It don’t matter anymore»
'Cause what matters most is still at home
Gathered 'round the table, barely, barely able to get through the day
Without thinking 'bout him, and their life without him
So he makes sure that they know that he knows what matters most
She gets mad when someone talks bad about the red, white and blue
She says they don’t understand what it stands for
Said if they spend just one day on their knees in her shoes
They’d be a little appreciative, of that I’m sure
'Cause what matters most is down the road
At the veterans cemetery where his best friends carried him and laid him down
They think about him, and their life without him,
They make sure that everybody knows what matters most
What matters most is still at home
That little boy and girl, living in a world that’s forever changed
They think about him, and their life without him
They make sure that everybody knows
Not a day goes by that they don’t let it show what matters most
What matters most
She gets mad when someone talks bad about the red, white and blue
She says they don’t understand what it stands for
