Got a briefcase from work I left in the trunk

Thought I'd take this vacation and finally catch up

So I checked out the view, and let go of that ladder

I thought to myself, this is what matters

Got my eye on the kids makin' castles in the sand

Got my back in the chair with your hand in my hand

Couple umbrella drinks, and some shrimp cachgion platter

Hey this is the life, this is what matters



And I ain't gonna answer my cell phone

I don't care about goin' on line

The office, the boss, what this trip's gonna cost

Is the last thing on my mind



Let the kids fall asleep to that movie again

Talk on the balcony long as we can

I can't hardly wait, wish this night would come faster

Makin' love to you baby, yeah this is what matters



I wish these six days would stretch on and on

But I'll realize 5 days from now that they don't

And right now I'm soakin' up sun, love, and laughter

God help me remember this is what matters



When it's all said and done

Yeah, this is what matters
