Penny To My Name |
Bill and I got married following our first born |
Daddy left this gas &convenience store just before he died |
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby |
And sometimes I think maybe I should’ve left here long ago |
Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p. |
s.i. |
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line |
But this beat-up truck &worn out shoes always give me the blues |
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night |
Chorus: — I never seen the city lights |
How they must shine so bright |
Not like this country night |
The sky’s black as coal |
And this gas-station mountain home |
Not a thing to call my own |
How I wish I was alone |
With a penny to my name |
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare |
But it’s just a dumb old mountain; |
I see it every day |
If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean-tides, |
City skyline in the night, I’ll be dancing till the dawn |
Chorus: — I never seenЂ¦ |
Bill and I got married following our first born |
Daddy left this gas &convenience store just before he died |
Maybe Bill &I someday will find a chance to get away |
Until then it’s here I’ll stay wishing on a star |
Chorus: — I never seenЂ¦ |
