perfect guitar melody and pace for the lyric and message..sort of tongue in cheek about "busy".  doing what exactly right? .priorities/time/perspective are great things to think about and you spell it out well here

An effervescent little number right here CW. Just the perfect upper shot.

A wonderfully upbeat track Chris with fun lyrics. An enjoyable listen.

Hey CW man, awesome use of the wah pedal here. Great groove to this one, and spellbinding chords, too. Excellent singing, as well. Way to go here, man!

Hey Chris, this is an instant classic! Great songwriting, lyrics, instrumentation, the whole ball of wax!

Love it , the wawa sound is cool. It carries the song well. nice arrangement. 👍🎸🆗

Nice phrasing on this one. Good prod too. Nice alt vibes

A really great arrangement. Nice lyric too! Super!

LYRIC
First cup of the day
There’s more on the way 
I call it brain fuel
Yes I got your text 
Read it and then next
I check my schedule 
Oh busy busy man that I am
I think that I can work you in
I was gonna swim a lap
Maybe take a nap
But it’s all tentative till then

First glass of the night 
Want both red and white
So I choose rose
Yes I saw that wink
It made me start to think
Do I have time to play
Well busy busy man I may be
I think that I can spare an hour
First let me grab a snack
Then I’ll be right back
After I hit the shower 
Then all I have to do is be with you

At this point in time
I’ve realized that I’m 
Way past overdue
Let’s lay down the facts 
To die and to pay tax
That’s all it comes down to
Yeah busy busy as life finds me
Honey can you read the room
The dog can’t walk itself
Cat knocked stuff off the shelf
I got to go get the broom 
Then all I have to do is be with you 
All I have to do is be where you are
Here and now
Not now and then
Anytime
Just say when

Oh busy busy I’m pretending 
Got paperwork stacked in piles
It’s the kind of mess
I should sweep off the desk
And I can’t concentrate
It all just has to wait
Since I caught one of your smiles
So all I have to do is be with you

All I Have To Do
