Going About My Father's Business Lyrics

Cover art for Going About My Father's Business lyrics by Paul Kelly

His father's business is in fact going in to look upon his sleeping son. He recalls that his own father did this to him. Suggestions of broken marriages in the song, perhaps his father wasn't around for long and the cycle has repeated. He treats his son in the same way his father treated him. Nice sax at the end.
