Lyrics

He gets home from work round six-forty five
He eats his supper and he?s barely alive
She says I know your tired and we?re both running late
Oh by the way did you forget you have a date
He comes running down the stairs, good to go
He says daddy can you teach me to throw
I found my ball and glove, but I can?t find my bat
And Maybe later daddy you can help me with my math

And he says, Son I?m really tired and I?ve had a real bad day
My body aching, this is gonna have to wait
Maybe later Son I really need to spend some time alone
He wipes his eyes, cause he?s just gonna say, Maybe later

He rolls out of bed round six-forty five
He stumbles down the stairs, his eyes are opened wide
He thinks about his boy who never comes around
His wife is gone and there?s no one to make a sound
He calls him on the phone, to see how he?s been
He says son, when can I see you again
I?ve found your ball and glove, but I can?t find your bat
And Maybe later son, I?d like if you can take them back

And he says, Dad I?m really tired and I?ve had a real bad day
My body aching this is gonna have to wait
Maybe later Dad I really need to spend some time alone
He wipes his eyes, cause he?s just gonna say, Maybe later

He Stops to think about his boy who just turned three
Someday he?ll be a man, and I hope he?s just like me, just like me

And he says, Dad I?m really sorry, but I?ve had a real bad day
My body?s aching, but it?s nothing I can?t take
Maybe later Dad we really need to spend some time alone
He smiles and says he?s never gonna say, Maybe later
