My List

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

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



Wouldn't change the course of fate but cuttin' the grass just had to wait

'Cause I've bot 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
