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
