Lyrics
Busy Man-music and lyrics Jon Clark © 2014 Row North Music
Busy man, draggin' that weight around
Ball and chain one heavy load
Break your back then you're laid out cold____laid out cold
Up the ladder, nobody's holdin' on
Chase the rabbit in a spinin' wheel
Fall out dizzy no more time to steal____time to steal
Where you runnin' / busy man
Better turn around / while you still can
Simon Peter / shakes your hand
How's it lookin' now / from where you sta____nd
All that green, what does it buy ya now
Vapor trail just wave good-bye
Was it real liv-ing in the eye____in the eye
Is the kid, walkin' that narrow line
Hold my hand let me beg of you
Not right now if you only knew____only knew
Where you runnin' / busy man
Better turn around / while you still can
Simon Peter / shakes your hand
How's it lookin' now / from where you sta____nd
Busy man, draggin' that weight around
Ball and chain one heavy load
Break your back then you're laid out cold____laid out cold
