Letra de Penny To My Name

Bill and I got married following our first-born Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I. Gas up and away they fly moving down the line But this beat up truck and worn out shoes Always giving me the blues Bill is 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 this gas station mountain home Not a thing to call my own 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 there I see it every day If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain 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 this gas station mountain home Not a thing to call my own 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 it's 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 this gas station mountain home Not a thing to call my own I wish I was alone with a penny to my name
