Lyric
Under an old brass paperweightIs my list of things to do today Go to the bank and the hardware store Put a new lock on the cellar doorI cross ’em off as I get ’em doneBut when the sun is settled There’s still more than a few things left I haven’t got to yetGo for a walk, say a little prayerTake a deep breath of mountain air Put on my glove and play some catch It’s time that I make time for thatWade the shore and cast a lineLook 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 listWouldn’t change the course of fateThe cutting the grass just had to wait ‘Cause I’ve got more important things Like pushin’ my kid on the backyard swingI won’t break my back for a million bucksI can’t take to my grave So why put off for tomorrow What I could get done todayLike go for a walk, say a little prayerTake a deep breath of mountain air Put on my glove and play some catch It’s time that I make time for thatWade the shore, cast a lineLook 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 listRaise a little hell, laugh ’til it hurtsPut an extra five in the plate at church Call up my folks just to chat It’s time that I make time for thatStay up late, and oversleepShow 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 listUnder an old brass paperweightIs my list of things to do today
