24 Hours

24 Hours - Eddie Boyd

Well I'm sitting here waiting

For her to call me on the phone

I'm sitting here waiting

For her to call me on the phone

She been gone 24 hours

And that's 23 hours too long

First 8 hours I was rolling and tumbling

I couldn't hardly stay in bed

Next morning I tried to eat my breakfast

And the blues was all in my bread

I'm sitting here waiting

For her to call me on the phone

She been gone 24 hours

And that's 23 hours too long

Next 8 hours I spent rambling

Going from place to place

No matter what I looked at

I could see my baby's face

I'm sitting here waiting

For her to call me on the phone

She been gone 24 hours

And that's 23 hours too long

Next 8 hours I spent praying

Praying for her to return

If she don't come back to me

You know my heart will forever yearn

I'm sitting here waiting

For her to call me on the phone

She been gone 24 hours

And that's 23 hours too long
