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
