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 Look 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 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 I'll 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 Look 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
