Them That Matter Don't Mind

(album: Sand Castles - 2022)

Don't remind him of his past
If the fella's trying to do right
Those that mind don't matter
And them that matter don't mind

The boy cleans up real nice
Thoughts spinning in their head
When did you come back to life?
Man we thought you were dead
Why you acting so shy now?
You were never that before
How many times we stepped over you
Just trying to get to the door?
The shame comes rushing back
Shakes his head looking down
Says, "man that's not me anymore, had to get up off the ground"

Don't remind him of his past
If the fella's try to do right
Those that mind don't matter
And them that matter don't mind

I take it second by second
Still feel some guilt and blame
Wishing I could move away maybe even change my name
That cat has done some damage everywhere he's been
The dark side is steady making bets that he'll be back again

Don't remind him of his past
If the fellas trying to do right
Those that mind don't matter
And them that matter don't mind

Them that matter don't mind
Them that matter don't mind
Them that matter don't mind
Them that matter don't mind
Them that matter don't mind
