In the middle of the night I lie awake in bed
While so many thoughts are rushing through my head
Oh yeah
And I'll ponder the conveniences that I have been given
And there’s one thing that I'll think of now and then
Oh yeah
See there’s a little place that you can go to anytime
You can buy anything and it’ll barely cost a dime
You’ll find varieties of most any merchandise
Whether it’s Tylenol or a twelve-pound bag of ice
I love you Circle K
I hope you never go away
If it starts to bug me when I can’t get any sleep
Then I’ll drive down there and buy some NyQuil cheap
Oh yeah
And I don’t need to make another pit stop at Safeway
‘Cause I can snag my cereal for the next day
Oh yeah
I’ll get some Cracker Jacks and some Listerine strips too
And a 24-pack of Sprite or Mountain Dew
They sell deodorant and a bunch of travel soaps
And I could even buy a month’s worth of horoscopes
I love you Circle K
I hope you’re always here to stay
In case I’m craving a Milky Way
Cheesy solo, all right
And that’s the end of the cheesy solo
I’ve been there a million times
Over the course of just a year
And every time I go
I get the same cross-eyed gaze from the cashier
If I want to drink some blue stuff
Circle K’s the only market
If only they sold some name-brand clothes
They’d be as good as Target
So each night I thank the lord for giving me a spot
Where the roller grill is always piping hot
Oh yeah
And I know that Circle K will always do the trick
If I need to buy a burner phone real quick
Oh yeah
I can fill up my car with unleaded gasoline
And while I’m waiting I can read a real estate magazine
You can go there day or night
‘Cause they’re open ‘round the clock
And it’s never far away
They’re on every other block
I love you Circle K
You’re taking over the USA
Well, the southwest region anyway
I need to drop by you today
