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
