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.

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.
