Lyrics
"TOO BUSY BLUES" by Jeff Leslie 4/82 - 1/88
Came home at the end of a work day, that 8 to 5 is a grind
Open the door, throw my coat on the floor, it's exactly 5:09
I lean the recliner, kick off my shoes and guzzle a brew
And Swanson's the winner for my evening dinner it's done in a minute or two
Not a second too soon. A day in the life to the tune of the "Too Busy Blues"
The TV plays the peril of my favorite private eye
The names are all changed but the story's the same, oh it's got me hypnotyzed
Just the facts, ma'am. The man on the run-- he carries a gun
If he gets into trouble they send in a double
They don't want the star to be bruised
Wish I had a twin, too, to help me get by
On these days of the "Too Busy Blues"
If the phone rings I'll say I'm in the shower
A knock on the door, I don't want any more, you got nothing for me
It's the Joneses-- wants to borrow some flour
You can get it yourself from the lower right shelf
Don't slam the door when you leave
To bed between comorting covers, a Bible lays right by my lamp
It's there for safe keeping but no time for reading
I'm sure God will understand
My head hits the pillow. I'm out light a light, it's the same every night
Got to get enough sleep for the hours I keep.
I get up before the morning dew. Got to stay in the groove
Of a day in the life to the tune of the "Too Busy Blues"
On Sunday I'll read the funnies and when I'm through cutting the grass
I'll go to the lake 'cause I'm needing a break
And my Saturday passes to fast
The church is for children and when I have some then maybe I'll come
But now my concern is that time isn't burned
For these hours seem only so few. I've got playing to do
The only recess that I get from the "Too Busy Blues"
One day the obituary will read I received my due rest
What do you mean that my soul is unclean
I thought sure that I passed every test
I got my religion. I walked an isle. My card's on a file
Was dunked in a pool by the Rev. O'Toole, I thought sure that's all I had to do
Jesus said, "It's not true.
If you never have time for me I've got no time for you."
So now I'm changing my tune
Imagine eternity singing the "Too Busy Blues"
