Tryin' to Matter
Toby Keith

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
