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
