Lyrics

[00:13.425] Bill and I got married, following our first born
[00:19.614] Daddy left this gas and convenience store, just before he died
[00:26.800] And I was only 19 when I had my third baby,
[00:32.916] Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago
[00:41.660] Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their psi
[00:48.350] Gas up and away they fly, moving down the line
[00:54.140] But this beat up truck and worn out shoes is always giving me the blues
[01:01.000] Billy's sucking down the booze, nearly every night
[01:07.809] I've never seen the city lights
[01:11.234] How they must shine so bright
[01:14.425] Not like this country night,
[01:17.075] The sky's black as coal
[01:20.415] And its gas station, mountain home,
[01:24.324] Not a thing to call my own
[01:27.597] How I wish I was alone,
[01:30.099] With a penny to my name
[01:45.730] Strangers say this mouintain here, is beautiful beyond compare
[01:51.562] But its just a dumb ol' mountain there, I see it every day,
[01:58.225] If I could see sunset skies over fields of green, or ocean tides,
[02:05.400] City skyline in the night, I'll be dancing till the dawn
[02:11.700] I've never seen the city lights
[02:15.200] How they must shine so bright
[02:18.603] Not like this country night,
[02:21.065] The sky's black as coal
[02:24.420] And its gas station, mountain home,
[02:28.212] Not a thing to call my own
[02:31.688] How I wish I was alone,
[02:34.053] With a penny to my name
[02:39.703] Bill and I got married, following our first born
[02:45.603] Daddy left this gas and convenience store, just before he died
[02:53.000] Maybe Bill and I someday, will find a chance to get away,
[02:59.222] Until then its here I'll stay, wishing on a star
[03:05.903] I've never seen the city lights
[03:09.500] How they must shine so bright
[03:12.773] Not like this country night,
[03:15.372] The sky's black as coal
[03:18.603] And its gas station, mountain home,
[03:22.603] Not a thing to call my own
[03:26.000] How I wish I was alone,
[03:28.603] With a penny to my name
