It Doesn`t Matter Much — текст песни (Steve Forbert)

I cover ground and
Get around a lot these days
And I meet a lotta people, too
An` if it takes a broken heart
To know one, well,
I`m seein` lotsa shades of blue
(shades of blue)

The wealthy part of town
Done got the Yuletide bug
And the decoration store does fine
But sometimes on a dark and
Country backwoods road
I pass a little shack that shines
(shack that shines)

It doesn`t matter much
What kind of house you got
As long as it`s a happy home
Or if your lover`s love
Ain`t burnin` blue flame hot
As long as you don`t feel alone
(feel alone)

What kind of house you got
Won`t make it real or not
What kind of car you drive
Won`t keep your love alive

What kind of house you got
Won`t make it real or not
What kind of car you drive
Won`t keep your love alive

The stairway up to heaven`s
Made of rough hewn boards
And Christ is on a hard nail throne
I wonder, stuck in traffic with a low fuel light,
If there`s time to change the road we`re on
(road we`re on)

It doesn`t matter much
What kind of house you got
As long as it`s a happy home
Or if your lover`s love
Ain`t burnin` blue flame hot
As long as you don`t feel alone

It doesn`t matter much
What kind of house you got
As long as it`s a happy home
Or if your lover`s love
Ain`t burnin` blue flame hot
As long as you don`t feel alone
(feel alone)
