You got to go, got to run, hit it hard and get it done
I got plans with the kids and a date with my wife
Busy man
"Hey Daddy, don't you want to buy a glass from me"
I'm a busy man"
When the job slows down and I'm not such a busy man"
You don't know how right you are
Everyone can see you're going far
You got to go, got to run, hit it hard and get it done
And when you say that time's a-wasting
Now you know how right you are
You got responsibilities, a crazy schedule that you keep
You got to go, got to run, take a break and have some fun
And when you say that time's a-wasting
Busy man
You say, "Maybe later, can't you see I'm a busy man?"
There's a call one day from the office
You pat him on the back and say
Got some new priorities in that schedule that you keep
Have you ever seen a headstone with these words
You don't know how right you are
Busy man
Saying, "I thought we had plans"
There's a woman in the bedroom crying
You say, "No way, the weekend's mine
Everyone can see you're going far
"If only I had spent more time at work"
His sister's out on the sidewalk
Setting up a lemonade stand
And when you say that time's a-wasting
You say, "Honey, I'm sorry I'll make it up
You got responsibilities, a crazy schedule that you keep
"Not now son, I'm a busy man"
They need you down in Birmingham
Those that love you most say, "You've come far"
