24 Hours A Day Lyrics

Skinny young man

With born again eyes

And a Jesus tattoo on his arm

Leans on the wall

While the traffic goes by

The gas-mart at Fairview and Farm

A rap song pounds

From an '83 Caddy

While he waits on a payphone to ring

Been standing around since a quarter past nine

Still hasn't heard a thing.

24 hours a day

24 hours a day

Sign says we're open the man says you pay

24 hours a day.

Backed up on Farm

Carhorns are screaming

Cause some guy's Suburban is stalled.

He guesses her daddy

Must be back home

Otherwise she'd have called

He thinks to himself

I guess I can't blame him

It wasn't so smart what we did

A uniformed cop gets in line with his coffee

Some women yells at her kid.

24 hours a day

Sign says we're open the man says you pay

24 hours a day.

(harmonica solo)

Carload of drunks

Pulls up in a hurry

For a six-pack before its too late.

He starts to dial

To leave one more message

Stops and decides just to wait.

Could have been different

And maybe it couldn't

With some things it's too late to learn.

Fumes from the gasoline hang in the air

World just continues to turn.

24 hours a day

24 hours a day

Sign says we're open the man says you pay

24 hours a day.

The skinny young man

With born again eyes

And a Jesus tattoo on his arm

Leans on the wall

While the traffic goes by

A gas-mart at Fairview and Farm

hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm.
