Eva Cassidy - Penny To My Name

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've left here long ago

Travellers are stopping by
Check their oil and their psi
Gas up and away to fly
Moving down the line
But this, beat-up truck
And worn out shoes
Always give me the blues
Billy sucking down the booze
Nearly every night

I 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
How 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 are
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 dawn

I 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
How 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 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
How I wish I was alone
With a penny to my name.
