Lyric

Under an old brass paperweightIs my list of things to do todayGo to the bank and the hardware storePut a new lock on the cellar door
I cross ’em off as I get ’em doneBut when the sun is settledThere’s still more than a few things leftI haven’t got to yet
Go for a walk, say a little prayerTake a deep breath of mountain airPut on my glove and play some catchIt’s time that I make time for that
Wade the shore and cast a lineLook up an old lost friend of mineSit on the porch and give my girl a kissStart livin’, that’s the next thing on my list
Wouldn’t change the course of fateThe cutting the grass just had to wait‘Cause I’ve got more important thingsLike pushin’ my kid on the backyard swing
I won’t break my back for a million bucksI can’t take to my graveSo why put off for tomorrowWhat I could get done today
Like go for a walk, say a little prayerTake a deep breath of mountain airPut on my glove and play some catchIt’s time that I make time for that
Wade the shore, cast a lineLook up an old lost friend of mineSit on the porch and give my girl a kissStart livin’, that’s the next thing on my list
Raise a little hell, laugh ’til it hurtsPut an extra five in the plate at churchCall up my folks just to chatIt’s time that I make time for that
Stay up late, and oversleepShow her what she means to meCatch up on all the things I’ve always missedJust start livin’, that’s the next thing on my list
Under an old brass paperweightIs my list of things to do today
