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 them off as I get' em done, but when the sun is set.
Theres still more than a few things left I haven't got to yet.
Chorus
Go for a walk, say a little prayer, take a deep breath of mountain air.
Put on my glove, 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.
2nd Verse
Wouldn't change the course of fate, if cuttin' 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 til' tommorrow, what I could get done today.
Chorus
Instrumental:
Key Change
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 made time for that.
Stay up late, and over sleep, show her what she means to me.
Catch up on all the things I've always missed.
Just Start livin', thats the next thing on my list.
