Toby Keith › Lyrics › Tryin' to Matter

I'm a lonely man with a lonely life
I got full-time job and a part-time wife
And the grindstone
Just goes on and on

You're a lonely girl, that's a lonely wife
We gotta three bedroom and an empty life
And you're not quite sure
Or just where it all went wrong

There's lots of reasons why
We should turn and walk away
There's a whole lot ridin' on this love
So baby what's ya say

Let's give it one good shot
Let's really give it all we got
We can take it nice and slow
Baby, don't you want to go back
Where we had a chance
And where we danced our dance
In a world where a heart could never shatter
Yeah, we might go down cryin'
But at least our love will die
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter

And I've come a long way so don't forget
Let's don't throw our hands up yet
We've still got time
To change our mind

Honey, let's give it our best tonight
If we still ain't got it right
We can always
Always say goodbye

Somewhere I guess we let go
And lost a little ground
One solitary heartbeat
Can turn this thing around

Let's give it one good shot
Let's really give it all we got
We can take it nice and slow
Baby, don't you want to go back
Where we had a chance
And where we danced our dance
In a world where a heart could never shatter
Yeah, we might go down cryin'
But at least our love will die
Tryin' to matter

We might go down cryin'
At least our love will die
Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
