24 Hours a Day

C

Skinny young man

with born again eyes

F C

and a jesus tattoo on his arm

leans on the wall

while the trafic goes by

G

the gas mart at Fairveiw and Farm

A rap song pounds from an 83 caddy

F C

While he waits on a pay phone to ring

F C F

been standing around since a quater past nine

C G C

still hasn't heard thing

Chorus:

F G C

24 hours a day

F G C

24 hours a day

F G C F

sign says were open the man says you pay

F G C

24 hours a day

backed up on Farm

carhorns are screaming

cause some guys 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 woman yells at her kid

Repeat Chorus

(harmonica solo)

carload of drunks

pulls up in a hurry

for a six pack before it's too late

he starts to dial

to leave one moe message

stops and decides just to wait

could have been diffrent

and maybe it coudn't

with some things it's too late to learn

fumes from the gasoline hang in the air

world just continues to turn

Repeat Chorus

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 farveiw and farm

hmmmmmm hmmmmmm hmmmmm
