Lyrics
Billy and I got married, following our firstborn 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 stoppin' by Check their oil and their PSI Gas up and away they fly Movin' down the line But this beat up truck and worn shoes Always givin' me the blues Billy suckin' down the booze Nearly every night I never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not alike this country night, the sky is 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 see this mountain here It's beautiful beyond compare But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it everyday If I could see the sunset skies Over fields of grain or ocean tides City skyline in the night, I'll be dancin' til the dawn I never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not alike this country night, the sky is 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 Billy and I got married, following our firstborn Daddy left this gas and convenience store, just before he died Maybe Billy and I someday Will find a chance to get away Until then it's here I'll stay Wishin' on a star I never seen the city lights How they must shine so bright Not alike this country night, the sky is 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
