Eva Cassidy - Penny To My Name Lyrics
Bill and I got married, following our first bornDaddy left this gas and convenience store, just before he diedAnd I was only 19 when I had my third baby,Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long agoTravellers are stopping by, check their oil and their psiGas up and away they fly, moving down the lineBut this beat up truck and worn out shoes is always giving me the bluesBilly's sucking down the booze, nearly every nightI've never seen the city lightsHow they must shine so brightNot like this country night,The sky's black as coalAnd its gas station, mountain home,Not a thing to call my ownHow I wish I was alone,With a penny to my nameStrangers say this mouintain here, is beautiful beyond compareBut its just a dumb ol' mountain there, I see it every day,If I could see sunset skies over fields of green, or ocean tides,City skyline in the night, I'll be dancing till the dawnI've never seen the city lightsHow they must shine so brightNot like this country night,The sky's black as coalAnd its gas station, mountain home,Not a thing to call my ownHow I wish I was alone,With a penny to my nameBill and I got married, following our first bornDaddy left this gas and convenience store, just before he diedMaybe Bill and I someday, will find a chance to get away,Until then its here I'll stay, wishing on a starI've never seen the city lightsHow they must shine so brightNot like this country night,The sky's black as coalAnd its gas station, mountain home,Not a thing to call my ownHow I wish I was alone,With a penny to my name
