6 A.M and Bobbys wakin up Rolls outta bed with sleepy eyes Goes to his sisters room across the hall Hey Daisy rise and shine He pours two bowls full of Captain Crunch Puts a fresh pot of coffee on He wakes his momma up off the couch "The bus is here, we love you mom"
He made the breakfast He did the dishes So she wouldnt have to
Oh hes only ten Just comin of age he oughta be out playin ball And video games Climbin trees Or on a bike just ridin around But its hard to be a kid When youre the man of the house
Its late at night and Larry King is on Mommas up on the couch again Bobby hears them all talk about That awful war his daddys in So he runs off, straight up to his room Dont want his momma to see him right now He climbs in bed and says a silent prayer Then he cries his little blue eyes out Dont wanna let her down
Oh hes only ten Just comin of age he oughta be out playin ball And video games Climbin trees Or on a bike just ridin around But its hard to be a kid When youre the man of the house
Its finally Saturday Bobby gets a phone call Another world away from home He says, I love you dad Daddy says it right back Wish I could reach through this phone And hug you, and Daisy, and your mom Im so proud of you son.
Hes only ten Just comin of age he oughta to be out playin ball And video games Climbin trees Or on a bike just ridin around But its hard to be a kid When youre the man of the house
