Penny To My Name (Album Ver.)

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] 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]
