Well I reeled in, my first fish, down on Winkler’s Creek
It wasn’t no state record, but nothin’ felt better than makin’ daddy proud of me
Well I can still see him standin’ there smiling on that flat rock shore
And to me that matters more

Spent all my money, cut my knuckles, workin’ on that ole two-tone
She was tough to keep runnin’, left me thumbin’, a few times down the road
But I drank my first beer on the gate of that ‘0 4
And to me that matters more
'Cause it ain’t the destination
It’s the memories the miles are makin’
Finding meaning in the middlе of a moment
And a fire inside to keep goin’
'Causе it ain’t the stage you’re playin’
It’s believing every word you’re singin’
And a piece of your heart you pour out over these chords
To me that matters mor-ore

Well my first show, I think I sold, right around twenty tickets
And two songs in, a pile of my friends, rolled in to drown out them crickets
Sittin’ here now I can still hear em yellin’ encore
And to me that matters more
'Cause it ain’t the desti-nation
It’s the memories the miles are makin’
Finding meaning in the middlе of a moment
And a fire inside to keep goin’
'Causе it ain’t the stage you’re playin’
It’s believing every word you’re singin’
And a piece of your heart you pour out over these chords
To me that matters mooor-ooore
Oh well it matters mor-ore
'Cause it ain’t the desti-nation
It’s the memories the miles are makin’
Finding meaning in the middlе of a moment
And a fire inside to keep goin’
'Causе it ain’t the stage you’re playin’
It’s believing every word you’re singin’
And a piece of your heart you pour out over these chords
Yeah a piece of your heart you pour out over these chords
To me that matters more
