I’m trimming my hair now,
It don’t matter, don’t matter.
Walking real tall now,
It don’t matter, don’t matter.
Smoothing my wrinkles,
It don’t matter, don’t matter.
I’m reading the paper,
It don’t matter, don’t matter.
Forgetting dependence,
It don’t matter, don’t matter.
I’m serving the people,
It don’t matter, don’t matter, no.
All that matters, all that matters,
Is coming on home to you.
I’m tending the garden
I buried my lady
Now I’m laughing at love songs
I’m making it easy,
forgiving my baby.
Listening to daddy,
His wisdom to save me.
I like when it’s windy,
It’s peace like he’s breathing.
All that matters, all that matters,
Is coming on home to you.
I’m taking my time now,
We’re taking our time.
She teaches to dress well,
He teaches to smile.
I’m learning a lover,
It’s taking a while.
All that matters, all that matters,
Is coming on home to you.
