Cut The Grass

(album: On Your Time - 2023)

You got a lot on your plate and it's too much to handle
One thing or another both ends of the candle
With a wife and three kids and one on the way
Lately it seems there's just ain't enough time in the day

It'll drive you insane if your cup ain't half full
You can't complain and you can't grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg, steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it'll be short tomorrow

It's the last thing on your mind but it's the first thing I see
Every time I drive by I wonder just how long it'll be
I know you ain't got time to be working for nothing and you got mouths to feed
But when you walk out in the morning just look and you'll see what I mean

It'll drive you insane if your cup ain't half full
You can't complain and you can't grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it'll be short tomorrow

I believe what you sow in the spring you will reap in the fall
Bad luck on a string don't mean nothing at all
What goes up don't always come right back down
Sometimes people leave and never come back around
One thing I know is hard work always shows
And the one way to get there is to always be going
If you ain't got friends you don't get Christmas cards
And a good place to start's your front yard

It'll drive you insane if your cup ain't half full
You can't complain and you can't grab the horns by the bull
Life moves too fast to beg steal or borrow
But if you cut the grass, it'll be short tomorrow

Yeah, whatever you do today is gonna be done tomorrow
