about

(in which our Hero is toasted by those he left behind)

lyrics

I'm working every day out in the sunshine
I swear it's getting hotter every day
And then it's take the kids to soccer, walk that dog
And don't forget the PTA

I got all that I wished for and then some
I got a wife and kids, my job and short weekends
I got so much to do
I got life enough for two
But I still got time to drink to absent friends

I'm soothing Bobby's sunburn in the kitchen
And helping Molly with her ABCs
When they're in bed it's date night
But it's all that we can do
To sit up watching movies on TV

And every day I wonder where you've gone to
And if you're ever coming back at all
You know we'd make some time for you
If you'd just give us a call

I got all that I wished for and then some
I got a wife and kids, my job and short weekends
I got so much to do
I got life enough for two
But I still got time to drink to absent friends
Yeah, I still got time to drink to absent friends
