At The End Of The Day
Aaron Tippin · Stars and Stripes
With his apologies, he said they're
cutting back at work
They had to let me go
And Jack expected tears, he expected
worse
Be he didn't expect these words
As Rita pulled him close
And she said to him -- don't worry about it
baby
Let me tell you something
CHORUS
At the end of the day
Is really where it all begins,br> With who you love, who loves you
And who's your friends
'Cause God don't care where you live
Who you are, what you drive
or how much you make
All that really counts is how you sleep
At the end of the day
Now betty handed bob the keys
To their million-dollar home
She said -- Bob this might be living
But it sure ain't love
I thought I had to have all this
I thought it made me "Me"
Ah, but now I think that it's just twenty
cold rooms full of stuff
And she said -- let me tell you something
Else, Bob
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE
Now when my drandpa died
He didn't have a dime
But he was rich, they say
And when it came time to see him off
The whole damn county came
And I remember he used to say it all the
time
REPEAT CHORUS
At the end of the day
