Busy Man

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] Have you ever seen a headstone with these words If only I had spent more time at work [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
