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
