Alabama - Small Stuff

There's a little cafe' on the corner of town


Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down


It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread





We got a mortgage we pay just a little bit on


But it seems like all of our money is gone


Before we get a chance to get ahead


That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff





Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage


Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age


Small stuff


There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us


Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust


In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff


So we don't sweat the small stuff





There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above


Sometimes the rain drips down on our temple of love


We have to put a pot smack dab in the middle of the bed


Somebody hit my car at the diner last night


Had to drive it home with one taillight


When I went out this morning, the engine was dead


That's small stuff, we don't sweat the small stuff





Why worry about the mortgage and the minimum wage


Traffic and the taxes and the coming of age


Small stuff


There's a comfort in the knowing there's a spirit in us


Giving us the courage and the wisdom to trust


In a love that's so much greater than all the small stuff


So we don't sweat the small stuff





There's a little cafe' on the corner of town


Lucy works there 'til the sun goes down


And she don't sweat the small stuff
