| Under an old brass paperweight is my list of things to do today
|
| Go to the bank and the hardware store, put a new lock on the cellar door
|
| I cross 'em off as I get 'em done but when the sun is set
|
| There’s still more than a few things left I haven’t got to yet
|
| Go for a walk, say a little prayer
|
| Take a deep breath of mountain air
|
| Put on my glove and play some catch
|
| It’s time that I make time for that
|
| Wade the shore and cast a line
|
| Look up a long lost friend of mine
|
| Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
|
| Start livin', that’s the next thing on my list
|
| Wouldn’t change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait
|
| 'Cause I’ve got more important things like pushin' my kid on the backyard swing
|
| I won’t break my back for a million bucks I can’t take to my grave
|
| So why put off for tomorrow what I could get done today
|
| Like go for a walk, say a little prayer
|
| Take a deep breath of mountain air
|
| Put on my glove and play some catch
|
| It’s time that I make time for that
|
| Wade the shore and cast a line
|
| Pick up a long lost friend of mine
|
| Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
|
| Start livin', that’s the next thing on my list
|
| Raise a little hell, laugh 'til it hurts
|
| Put an extra five in the plate at church
|
| Call up my folks just to chat
|
| It’s time that I make time for that
|
| Stay up late, then oversleep
|
| Show her what she means to me Catch up on all the things I’ve always missed
|
| Just start livin', that’s the next thing on my list
|
| Under an old brass paperweight
|
| Is my list of things to do today |
