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

Chorus:
F G C
24 hours a day
F G C

F G C F

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
