Sangtekst: Chuck Wicks. Man Of The House.

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
