| There’s a little boy out in the driveway his basketball in hand
|
| Saying Daddy could we play a little one on one
|
| You pat him on the back and say not now son I’m a busy man
|
| His sister’s out on the sidewalk setting up a lemonade stand
|
| Hey daddy don’t you want to buy a glass from me
|
| You say maybe later can’t you see I’m a busy man
|
| You got to go got to run hit it hard and get it done
|
| Everyone can see you’re going far
|
| You got responsibilities a crazy schedule that you keep
|
| And when you say that time’s a wasting
|
| You don’t know how right you are a busy man
|
| There’s a women in the bedroom crying saying I thought we had plans
|
| You say honey I’m sorry I’ll make it up
|
| When the job slows down and I’m not such a busy man
|
| Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
|
| If only I had spent more time at work
|
| There’s a call one day from the office they need you down in Birmingham
|
| You say no way the weekend’s mine
|
| I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife I’m a busy man
|
| You got to go got to run take a break and have some fun
|
| Those that love you most say you’ve come far
|
| Got some new priorities in that schedule that you keep
|
| And when you say that time’s a wasting
|
| Now you know how right you are a busy man |
