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 |
