There's a little boy out in the driveway

His basketball in hand

Saying daddy can we play a little one on one

You pat hI'm on the back and say not now son

I'm a busy man

His sisters 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 tI'mes 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

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 tI'me 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

Now you know how right you are

Busy man
