busy man - billy ray cyrus
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
im 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
im 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 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
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
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
busy man
