6 a. m. and Bobby's wakin' up, rolls out of bed with sleep- y eyes
C Em G Am
Goes to his sister's room a- cross the hall, "Hey Daisy rise and shine"
C Em G C Em G
He pours two bowls full of Captain Crunch, puts a fresh pot of coffee on
C Em D Em C D G
He wakes his momma up off the couch, "The bus is here, we love you mom"
Am Bm C D
He made the breakfast, he did the dishes, so she wouldn't have to

[Chorus]
Am D G F#m Em
Oh, he's only ten, just comin' of age he oughta be out playin' ball
Am D Em E
And video games, climbin' trees, or on a bike, just ridin' a- round
Am D C Em
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, Momma's up on the couch again
C Em G Am
Bobby hears them all talk about that awful war his daddy's in
C Em G C Em G
So he runs off, straight up to his room, don't want his momma to see him right now
C Em D Em C D G
He climbs in bed and says a silent prayer, then he cries his little blue eyes out
D
Don't wanna let her down

[Chorus]

It's finally Saturday, Bobby gets a phone call, another world away from home
C Bm
He says, "I love you dad", Daddy says it right back,
Am C Bm Am Bm
"Wish I could reach through this phone. And hug you, and Daisy, and your mom
C
I'm so proud of you son."
