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
