my list þarký sözü

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 why put off for tomorrow what i could get done today?

like go for a walk, say a little prayer

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
