D
Daddy hugs his little man  
     A
says son I’ve got to go
       G                               A
and he pulls out of the drive and disappears
        D
as they walk back in the house
    A
the young boy asks his mama
G                              A
where does daddy go when he leaves here
D 
mama tells her little man
     A
your daddy’s got a job
            G                                 A
and when he goes to work they pay him for his time 
         D               
well the young boy gets to thinking 
A
and he heads up to his bedroom 
          G                               A
and comes running back with a quarter and four dimes 


chorus: 

        G              A                  D
and says mama how much time will this buy me 
        G               D                  C               A
is it enough to take me fishing or throw a football in the street
G               F#                  Bm        A      G
if I’m a little short then how much more does daddy need

to spend some time with me
