G5
There's a little boy out in the driveway
    E5            C5
His basketball in hand
       D5   
Saying Daddy could we play a little one on one

You pat him on the back and say not now son
      G5            DC5
I'm a busy man


    G5
His sister's out on the sidewalk
E5                 C5
Setting up a lemonade stand
    D5
Hey Daddy don't you want to buy a glass from me
                                         G5
You say maybe later, can't you see I'm a busy man
           E5         C5
You got to go, got to run
       D5               E5
Hit it hard and get it done
C5            A5               D5
Everyone can see you're going far
           E5             C5
You got responsibilities
         D5                E5
A crazy schedule that you keep
             F5                
And when you say that time's a-wasting
          A5                 D5
You don't know how right you are
         G5
Busy man

There's a woman in the bedroom crying
E5                      C5
Saying I thought we had plans
        D5
You say honey I'm sorry I'll make it up

When the job slows down and I'm not such
  G5
A busy man
           E5         C5
You got to go, got to run
       D5               G5
Hit it hard and get it done
C5             A5              D5
Everyone can see you're going far
        E5                C5
You got responsibilities
        D5                 E5
A crazy schedule that you keep
             F5
And when you say that time's a-wasting
          A5                 D5 
You don't know how right you are
        G5
Busy man
         D5                           C5
Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
   A5          C5                 D5
If only I had spent more time at work
          G5
There's a call one day from the office
     E5                   C5
They need you down in Birmingham
    D5
You say no way, the weekend's mine

I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife
      G5
I'm a busy man
           E5         C5
You got to go, got to run
       D5                   G5
Take a break and have some fun
C5                   A5          
Those that love you most
                D5
Say you've come far
         E5               C5
Got some new priorities
         D5                E5
In that schedule that you keep
             F5   
And when you say that time's a-wasting
        A5                 D5
Now you know how right you are
         G5
Busy man
