Daddy hugs his little man, says son I've got to go
He pulls out of the drive and disappears
As they walk back in the house the young boy asked his mama
Where does daddy go when he leaves here
Well mama tells her little man your daddy's got a job
And when he goes to work they pay him for his time
The young boy gets to thinkin' heads up to his bedroom
Comes runnin' back with a quarter and four dimes
Says mama how much time will this buy me
Is it enough to take me fishin' or throw a football in the street
If I'm a little short then how much more does daddy need
To spend some time with me
Young boy tells his mama now I know daddy's busy
Cause most times when he gets home it's dark outside
But tell…
