Bill and I got married following our first-born

Dm                      Am                 G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died

C                              F
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby

Dm                              G                    C
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago

Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I.

Dm                       Am              G
Gas up and away they fly moving down the line

C
But this beat up truck and worn out shoes

F
Always giving me the blues

Dm                            G
Bill is sucking down the booze nearly every night

Not like this country night the sky's black as coal

F                    G
And this gas station mountain home

C              F
Not a thing to call my own

C            F            Dm    G     C
I wish I was alone with a penny to my name

But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it every day

C                                  F
If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean tides

Dm                                 G
City skyline in the night I'll be dancing till the dawn
[Chorus]
F                  G            C              F
I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright

And this gas station mountain home

C              F
Not a thing to call my own

I wish I was alone with a penny to my name

Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died

C                            F
Maybe Bill and I someday will find a chance to get away

Dm                              G
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star
