Man Of The House Lyrics - Chuck Wicks

6 A.M. 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 2 bowls full of Captain Crunch 

And 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 10, 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 

And mama's up on the couch again 

And 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 10 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 10 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 

6 A.M. and Bobby's waking up 

Rolls out of bed with sleepy eyes
