A boogie-woogie rockin' piano contrasting a life of futility with a life of gratitude. Life is a state of mind.

lyrics

What Does It Matter?
Denes McIntosh

Well, my job sucks, honey I’ve had enough
my tanks been runnin’ on low.
The girls can’t have me, the boys can’t stand me
hey, this ain’t no picture show.
People tryin’ to con me, they wanna walk on me,
playin’ me for a fool,
thinkin’ I must be nuts, but what’s all the fuss?
There ain’t no point in bein’ cool.

Chorus:
Cause I’ve got a son, and he’s got a brother
and I got a wife, and she’s a damn good lover.
So what does it matter, and what difference if it does,
my brains are gettin’ battered
but my body’s gettin’ loved.

Well, I been shadow boxin’, my doors been locked
and my shadow’s been returnin’ the blows.
A left to the head like to left me for dead
but that’s the way the situation goes.
33 years, 30,000 beers
I shoulda bought stock in Milwaukee.
Coulda traveled to Spain, took a walk in the rain,
wouldn’t have to be another desk jockey.

Chorus:
