  • She said, "I was young once, darlin'
    I never gave up
    I've seen trouble come through my door
    Rain poured down like there's no tomorrow
    Raised three children in the same room
    And 30 years later, helped raise you
    I watched him run out, he ain't come back
    But that's just life, and I can't change that"

    "Darlin', trouble comes and trouble goes
    But Tom, you really ought to know"

    "That love is all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end
    That's all that matters in the end"

    She said, "You can stay tough, darlin'
    It runs in your blood
    There were nights that I never slept
    The world weighed heavy upon my chest
    I took on cancer and I raved through
    11 years later, still with you
    So don't you ever give up on hope
    'Cause you might break, but you won't stay broke"

    "And darlin', trouble comes and trouble goes
    But Tom, you really ought to know

    "That love is all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end"

    I said, "I swear I'm gonna do you proud," oh oh, oh oh
    Hold on to all this love I found
    When I'm old, I'll say the same things to my kids
    Give 'em what you gave me
    I'll tell 'em everything you said

    That love is all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end
    Can't spend your money when you're dead
    Can't live this life again
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters
    Yeah, it's messed up, but we got love
    'Least we got love
    That's all that matters in the end
    That's all that matters in the end Writer/s: Fiona Mackay Barclay Bevan, Thomas Alexander Walker, Timothy James Deal
