Music: Bob Regan/George Teren III
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 him 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
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 times 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 im sorry I'll make it up
When the job slows down and im not such
A busy man
And when you say that time's a-wasting
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
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
