Busy Man Lyrics

Busy Man lyrics

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

 Busy man

 

 There's a woman 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

 

 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

 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

 Busy man
