Penny To My Name

de Eva Cassidy

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
