(Gary Rossington, JohnnyVan-Zant, Ed King, Dale Krantz-Rossington, Custer)



I met the man, when I was fifteen 

Seen him in all the papers, on T.V. and magazines 

So I had to ask him, what's the difference between 

Those who make a wish, those who spin wheels 

And those who ride in white limosines like you,mister 

Won't you tell me one thing



Some have the passion and they control the ride 

Some settle for whatever happens 

As years pass they see their lives just slip on by 

The world keeps a' turnin' 

It'll leave you behind 

Nothin' else matters, nothin's worth learnin' 

Until the dream you have inside



(chorus) 

It's the one thing, the one thing there's no denyin' 

So find yourself a dream and some piece of mind 

'Cause money and power won't buy it 

It's the one thing, nothin' else matters



And somewhere you might have heard the good times are through 

And good luck is somethin' you're born with 

I know it just ain't true 

The world keeps a' turnin' 

I wouldn't tell you no lie 

Nothin' else matters, nothin's worth learnin' 

Until the dream that you have inside



(repeat chorus)



Nothin' else matters
