Penny To My Name Lyrics - Time After Time - 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 19 when I had my third baby, 

Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago 

Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their psi 

Gas up and away they fly, moving down the line 

But this beat up truck and worn out shoes is always giving me the blues 

Billy's 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 its 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 mouintain here, is beautiful beyond compare 

But 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 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 its 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 its 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 its gas station, mountain home, 

Not a thing to call my own 

How I wish I was alone, 

With a penny to my name
