Lyrics
With all the work and worry, what makes my world go round.
To dwell up on the little thing, can really bring me down.
Did I check the front door, did someone feed the dog.
Did I forget to lock my truck, is the grass getting to long.
Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff, you got bigger fish to fry.
Between you and me and the fence post, don't hang you head and cry.
Don't sweat the small stuff, boy get up off the floor.
It's time you stood on your own two feet, spilled milk don't hurt no more.
Did the kids get all there chores done, did someone latch the gate.
Why does Monday come so soon, and Friday come so late.
Someone left a light on, I guess money grows on trees.
I worry about the bills we pay, it brings me to my knees.
Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff, you got bigger fish to fry.
Between you and me and the fence post, don't hang you head and cry.
Don't sweat the small stuff, boy get up off the floor.
It's time you stood on your own two feet, spilled milt don't hurt no more.
Bridge
I still hear dad say, those very words to me,
Every time I'd complain about how things should be.
He'd say life is to short, you gotta suite yourself.
Make the best of every day, don't worry about nothing else.
Who's that on the telephone, calling at super time.
Will the wind blow again today, you know I oughta draw the line.
Some bad things are bounds to happen, it's a fine how do you do.
That's the whole thing in a nut shell, we know what it boils down to.
Chorus
Don't sweat the small stuff, you got bigger fish to fry.
Between you and me and the fence post, don't hang you head and cry.
Don't sweat the small stuff, boy get up off the floor.
It's time you stood on your own two feet, spilled milt don't hurt no more.
Don't sweat the small stuff,
Don't sweat the small stuff,
Don't sweat the small stuff,
