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 it 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, play some catch
It's time that I made 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', that's the next thing on my list
Wouldn't change the course of fate
If cutting the grass just had to wait
'Cause I've got more important things
Like pushing my kid on a 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
Instrumental Break
Raise a litte hell, laugh till it hurts
Put an extra five in the plate at church
Call up my folks just to chat
It's time that I made time for that
Stay up late an 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
