24 Hours

Well, I'm sittin' here waitin'

For her to call me on the phone

I'm sittin' here waitin'

For her to call me on the phone

She's been gone twenty-four hours

And that's twenty-three hours too long

First eight hours I was rollin' and tumblin'

I couldn't hardly stay in bed

Next mornin' I tried to eat my breakfast

And the blues was all in my bread

I'm sittin' here waitin'

For her to call me on the phone

She's been gone twenty-four hours

And that's twenty-three hours too long

Next eight hours I spent ramblin'

Goin' from place to place

No matter what I looked at

I could still see my baby's face

I'm sittin' here waitin'

For her to call me on the phone

She's been gone twenty-four hours

And that's twenty-three hours too long

Next eight hours I spent prayin'

Prayin' for her to return

If she don't come back to me

You know my heart will forever yearn

I'm sittin' here waitin'

For her to call me on the phone

She's been gone twenty-four hours

And that's twenty-three hours too long
