You sit in church on Sunday
|
Running figures in your head
|
You plan tomorrow's meetings
|
As I slip off to bed
|
No time for the children's homework
|
Lord, you never take a rest
|
You can't let the simple things
|
Interfere with your success
|
|
White collar man
|
With a briefcase in your hand
|
Can you hear your children call from your backyard
|
They need you in their world right now
|
More than things that you grew up without
|
Precious time is running through your hands
|
White collar man
|
|
You can't unwind on the weekends
|
Like you did in our younger days
|
The deadlines and promotions
|
I can read them on your face
|
Your family need attention
|
And you need some time alone
|
What you gave at the office
|
There's not much left when you get home
|
|
White collar man
|
With a briefcase in your hand
|
Can you hear your children call from your backyard
|
They need you in their world right now
|
More than things that you grew up without
|
Precious time is running through your hands
|
White collar man
|
|
Can't you see they need you in their world right now
|
More than things that you grew up without
|
Precious time is running through your hands
|
White collar man
