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 settin' 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 wastin', you don't know how right you are busy man, there's a women in the bedroom crying sayin' 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. 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 wastin', now you know how right you are busy man busy man
