Tryin` To Matter Lyrics

(Toby Keith/Scotty Emerick)

 

 I'm a lonely man with a lonely life

 A full-time job and part-time wife

 And the grindstone just goes on and on

 You're a lonely girl that's a lonely wife

 Gotta three bedroom and an empty life

 And you're not quite sure

 Just where it all went wrong

 There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away

 But 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 we danced our dance

 In a world where a heart could never shatter

 We might go down cryin'

 But at least our love will die

 Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter

 

 We'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, 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 we danced our dance

 In a world where a heart could never shatter

 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
