[D] _ _ _ _ _ Daddy hugs his little man, [A] says, son, I've got to go.
[G] And he pulls out of the drive and [A] disappears.
_ _ [D] As they walk back in the house, [A] the young boy asks his mama,
[G] where does daddy go when he [A] leaves here?
_ _ [D] Mama tells her little man, [A] your daddy's got a job.
[G] And when he goes to work, they pay him [A] for his time.
_ [D] Well, the young boy gets to thinking, [A] and he heads up to his bedroom,
[G] comes running back with a quarter and [A] four _ dimes.
[G] And says, mama, how [A] much time will [D] this buy me?
_ [G] Is it enough to take [D] me fishing, [C] or throw a football [A] in the stream?
[G] If I'm a [F#] little short, then how [B] much more [A] does daddy [G] need
to [D] spend [A] some time [D] with me? _ _ _ _ _
The young boy tells his mama, [A] now, I know daddy's busy.
[G] Because most times when he gets home, it's [A] dark outside. _
[D] I tell him I've got me some pennies [A] saved up from the tooth fairy.
[G] And I keep them in my piggy bank, [A] and I believe there's 35.
[G] And mama, how [A] much time will that [D] buy me? _
[G] Is it enough to take [D] me camping [Am] in a tent down by [A] the creek?
[G] If I'm a [F#] little short, then how [Bm] much more [A] does daddy [G] need
[Em] to [D] spend [A] some time [D] with me? _
How [G] _ _ [F#] _ _ [Bm] _ [A] _ [G] _
_ [Em] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [A] much time will this [D] buy me?

[G] starts dialing up some numbers on [A] the phone.

because your little [A] man has got one here at [D] home. _
