Karaoké Man of the House Chuck Wicks

Six AM and Bobby's waking up rolls out of bed with sleepy eyes

Goes to his sister's 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 mama up off the couch

The bus is here we love you mom

He made the breakfast he did the dishes

So she wouldn't have to

Oh he's only ten just coming of age

He oughta be out playing ball

And video games climbing trees or on a bike

Just riding around

But it's hard to be a kid when you're the man of the house

It's late at night and

Larry King is on

Mama's up on the couch again

Bobby hears them all talk about

That awful war his daddy's in

So he runs off straight up to his room

Don't want his mama to see him right now

He climbs in bed and says a silent prayer

Then he cries his little blue eyes out

Don't want to let her down oh he's only ten

Just coming of age he oughta be out playing ball

And video games climbing trees or on a bike just riding around

But it's hard to be a kid when you're the man of the house

It's 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

I'm so proud of you son

He's only ten just coming of age

He oughta be out playing ball

And video games climbing trees or on a bike just riding around

But it's hard to be a kid when you're the man of the house

Six AM and Bobby's waking up

Rolls out of bed with sleepy eyes
