there’s a little boy out in the driveway his basketball in hand
saying daddy could we play a little one on one
you pat him on the back and say not now son i’m a busy man
his sister’s 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 time’s a wasting
you don’t know how right you are a busy man
there’s a women 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
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
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
and when you say that time’s a wasting
now you know how right you are a busy man
