Busy Man

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 said 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 Busy man...
