No, it aCin't about the place he's been lFiving for the past 8 months
And it Cain't about the badges on his uniformF  
And it Cain't about the oil like they Fsay it is in the news
You'll never Chear him say "It don't matter anymore"C  
[Chorus]
'Cause what matters most Cis still at homeF  
AmGathered 'round the table, Gbarely, barely able to get Fthrough the day
Without thinking C'bout him, and their life with- Fout him
So Amhe makes sure that Gthey know that he knows Fwhat matters most
CShe gets mad when someone talks bad a- Fbout the red, white and blue
She says Cthey don't understand what it stands Ffor
Said if Cthey spend just one day C/Gon their Fknees in her shoes
They'd C/Ebe a little appreciative, of that I'm Fsure
[Chorus]
'Cause what matters most Cis down the roadF  
At the Amveterans cemetery where his Gbest friends carried him and Flaid him down
They think about Chim, and their life with- Fout him,
AmThey make sure that Geverybody knows Fwhat matters most
What matters most Cis still at homeF  
That Amlittle boy and girl, Gliving in a world that's for- Fever Gchanged
They think about Chim, and their life with- Fout him
AmThey make sure that Bmeverybody knowsF  
Not a Amday goes by that Gthey don't let it show Fwhat matters most
CShe gets mad when someone talks Gbad a- Fbout the red, white and blue
She says Cthey don't understand what it stands Ffor -----
