Story Behind The Song
I met a woman at a Kum & Go store who had been working there for 30 years.I thought wow, how could you do that? But when you think about it, time goes by awfully fast. Next thing you know, you've been working 30 years at the Kum & Go.

Lyrics
verse#1
It started out in 1979
She had a summer job working part time
She did'nt know what into she was a gettin
She just never got around to quiting
Now she's got a tag on her vest says "hi" my name is Flow
Chorus
And I've been working 30 years
At the Kum & Go
verse#2
Mopping up and down the aile
Where convienience and a smile
Never go out of style
Past the power-steering fluid and anti-freeze
String cheese
Wake-up in the morning
Next thing you know
Chorus
Bridge
She's working at the Kum & Go
Don't really know how come
She just took the job
Cause she needed one
Pays ok benifits aint' bad
Only job she ever had
Verse#3
The police aint' doing Flow no favors
Sending in those 25 year old looking beer buying teenagers
Their all hanging out by the Tasty Freeze
Meanwhile Flows' checking IDs
Shes' employe of the year
And rightly so
Chorus
Bridge
Verse#4
So its' three husbands and six kids later
Still restocking that same old refrigerator
One of these days
Shes gonna find something new
Till then a grils' gotta do
What a grils' gotta do
Gve time enough time and time will take it's toll
Chorus
Vamp
DRive off on pup#4
Someone thew-up on the bathroom floor
Be carefull floor slippery when wet
Think I'll go uotside and have a ciggerette
Three teenagers in the store at a time
When I first started working here
Candy bars were a dime
Yeah we're working.............
