Gio Says You're Good

Lyrics

[Intro] Before the town gets moving, Gio’s already there A steady hand, a friendly word, a little room to spare [Verse 1] He clocks in while the morning’s still cool on the concrete Wipes the pump handles down, keeps the whole place neat Knows the regulars by name, asks how their folks are doing If your day came in crooked, he’ll help you get through it Long shift, tired shoes, still he gives you his time Treats the broke-down stranger like an old friend in line No big talk, no show, just a promise he can keep When he tells you, “You’re good,” that word runs deep [Chorus] Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, that’s the way he stands Keeps the coffee hot, keeps a helping hand Working that station from the first light through Good man, good heart, and his word stays true Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, hear it plain He’ll put a little hope in the middle of your day From the pumps to the people, everybody knows When Gio gives his word, you can let your worries go [Verse 2] A kid’s short a dollar, Gio waves it away “Get home safe, little man, you can catch me another day” A tired nurse pulls in with the dawn in her eyes He tops off her tank, says, “You’ve done enough tonight” He works through the rush, works through the heat Still finds time to sweep up the glass by the street He never asks for praise, never keeps a score Just leaves folks standing taller than they were before [Chorus] Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, that’s the way he stands Keeps the coffee hot, keeps a helping hand Working that station from the first light through Good man, good heart, and his word stays true Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, hear it plain He’ll put a little hope in the middle of your day From the pumps to the people, everybody knows When Gio gives his word, you can let your worries go [Bridge] Some folks build a name by telling you they’re strong Gio builds his every day by showing up and carrying on One small kindness, one more shift, one promise made right That’s how a good man keeps the whole block feeling all right [Final Chorus] Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, that’s the way he stands Keeps the coffee hot, keeps a helping hand Working that station from the first light through Good man, good heart, and his word stays true Gio says you’re good, then you’re good, hear it plain He’ll put a little hope in the middle of your day From the pumps to the people, everybody knows When Gio gives his word, you can let your worries go [Outro] When Gio says you’re good, you’re good That’s the kind of man he is
