Under an old brass paper weight,
|
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 settin'
|
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, cast a line,look up an old lost friend of mine
|
sit on the porch, and give my girl a kiss, start living
|
That's the next thing on my list.
|
Wouldn't change the course of fate, if cutting the grass just had to wait,
|
cause I got more important things, like pushing my kid on a 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 living
|
That's the next thing on my list.
|
Raise a little Hell, laugh till 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 living
|
That's the next thing on my list.
|
Under an old brass paper weight is my list of things to do today.
