Bill and I got married
following our first born Daddy left this gas and convenience store
just before he died And I was only 19 when I had my third baby
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago Travellers are stopping by
check their oil and their psi Gas up and away they fly
moving down the line But this beat up truck and worn out shoes is always giving me the blues Billy s sucking down the booze
nearly every night I ve never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not like this country night
The sky s black as coal And its 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 mouintain here
is beautiful beyond compare But its just a dumb ol mountain there
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 I ve never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not like this country night
The sky s black as coal And its gas station
mountain home
Not a thing to call my own How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name Bill and I got married
following our first born Daddy left this gas and convenience store
just before he died Maybe Bill and I someday
will find a chance to get away
Until then its here I ll stay
wishing on a star I ve never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not like this country night
The sky s black as coal And its gas station
mountain home
Not a thing to call my own How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name |
