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
