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
