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
Pick 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 bot 
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 and cast a 
line
Pick 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

Under an old brass paperweight
Is my list of things to do 
today
