Under an old brass paper weight,
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 settled, theres still more than a few things left
I havent got to yet.
Like go for a walk, say a little prayer,
Take a deep breath of mountain air
Put on my glove and play some catch
Its time that i make time for that
Wade the shore, cast a line,
Look up an old lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin…thats the next thing on my list.
Wouldnt change the course of fate,
Cuttin the grass just had to wait
Cause ive got more important things
Like pushin my kid on the backyard swing
I wont break my back for a million bucks
I cant 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
Its time that i make time for that
Wade the shore, cast a line,
Look up an old lost friend of mine
Sit on the porch and give my girl a kiss
Start livin…thats the next thing on my list.
Raise a little hell, laugh till it hurts,
Put an extra five in the plate at church,
Call up my folks just to chat,
Its time that i make time for that
Stay up late, and over sleep
Show her what she means to me
Catch up on all the things ive always missed
Just start livin…thats the next thing on my list.
