Unfinished Business

I got a list of things to do before I die

If I laid one on top of the other

It'd stand about three feet high

The devil in the details

Crossing T's and dotting I's

Sure wouldn't make it easy, putting off

Getting around to my unfinished business

I killed a lot of years by sweating over things that didn't last

I killed the better part of my youth by growing up way too fast

I'm almost to the age where there's less future than there is past

My regrets are only half the size of the shadows that they cast

On unfinished business

I got songs that I still ain't sung

Old fights that I still ain't won

Things I need to teach my son concerning wisdom

Itches that I still ain't scratched

Doors on closets that still ain't latched

Fish I need to catch

Yeah, I may leave tired, but I ain't leaving with

Unfinished business

I'm gonna learn a few new chords on this beat-up old guitar

I'm gonna get strong enough to not be ashamed of my old scars

I'm gonna run my engine hard despite all of my missing parts

Spend the last of my years trying to finish what I start

Unfinished business

And I got songs that I still ain't sung

Old fights that I still ain't won

Things I need to teach my son concerning wisdom

Itches that I still ain't scratched

Doors on closets that still ain't latched

Fish I need to catch

Yeah, I may leave tired, but I ain't leaving with

Unfinished business

I got kisses that I still ain't kissed

I love you's that ain't left my lips

Dreams beyond my fingertips

But I'm reaching, hey, I'm reaching

I may leave tired, but I ain't leaving with

Yeah, I may leave tired, but I ain't leaving with

Unfinished business
