Corner Store Promise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He’s thirty-two Runs the little hardware shop On the corner by the bus stop Every morning Phone buzzing like a storm He’s already behind before he’s warm A client calls While he’s lifting paint and nails He misses it again Another sale gone stale And if he had one thousand dollars today He’d fix the broken signs He’d pay the rent and breathe for one more day [Pre-Chorus] But the line keeps ringing And the list keeps growing He can’t be in two places He can’t keep knowing Who called back Who needs a date Who said maybe Who said wait [Chorus] AI Employee You stay on it AI Employee You don’t forget Answer the call Follow up Book the time Set it up AI Employee Night and day (Your second hands) AI Employee Make it stay [Verse 2] She’s twenty-nine Running lashes out of her home One chair, one ring light And a thousand tabs on her phone A woman writes “Can I come in this week?” Then silence falls Before she gets to speak She’d spend that thousand On a better chair and light Maybe gas to visit mama Maybe sleep one night But every lead slips through When her hands are full When she’s mixing glue And trying to keep it cool [Pre-Chorus] So the messages pile up Like laundry in the hall She means to answer But she can’t catch them all Who wants Tuesday Who wants Thursday Who wants morning Who wants same day [Chorus] AI Employee You stay on it AI Employee You don’t forget Answer the call Follow up Book the time Set it up AI Employee Night and day (Your second hands) AI Employee Make it stay [Verse 3] He’s fifty-one Used to drive a yellow van Now his knees complain Every time he stands His service page Looks fine at first glance But the customers leave Before they get a chance One grand today Would buy him time to think A new tablet, a new ad Maybe keep him off the brink But what he needs most A little help that never sleeps Someone who answers quick And keeps the promise deep [Bridge] Listen What if the call got answered Before it went to voicemail What if the text went back Before the hope got frail What if every question Found a steady hand What if your business grew While you were with your grand [Break] Aye That’s the difference That’s the change A small machine of kindness Working through the day [Final Chorus] AI Employee You stay on it AI Employee You don’t forget Answer the call Follow up Book the time Set it up AI Employee Night and day (Your second hands) AI Employee Make it stay If you want to see the AI Employee in action, comment AI EMPLOYEE.
