[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
