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
