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 settled

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

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

The cutting the grass just had to wait

'Cause I've got 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, 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

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, and 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
