24 Hours A Day Lyrics

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

Car horns 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

24 Hours a day

Sign says we're open the man says you pay

24 Hours a day



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

Hmm hmm hmm hmm
