Alabama

There's a little cafe on the corner of town,
Lucy works there till the sun goes down,
It ain't very much but she brings home the bacon and the bread,
We've got a mortgage we've paid just a little bit on,
But it seems like all the money's gone,
Before we get a chance to get ahead,
But that's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff,
(chorus)
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 that 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 this small stuff,
We don't sweat the small stuff,
(verse 2)
There's a little bitty hole in the ceiling above,
Sometimes 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,
I had to drive it home with one tail light,
And I went out this morning the engine was dead,
That's small stuff we don't sweat the small stuff,
(chorus)
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 that 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 this small stuff,
We don't sweat the small stuff,
(ending verse)
There's a little cafe on the corner of town,
Lucy works there till the sun goes down,
She don't sweat the small stuff,
