VERSE 1 C F 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 VERSE 2 C F 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 CHORUS: F G C F I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright C F D G 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 D G C I wish I was alone with a penny to my name VERSE 3 C F Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare Dm Am G 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 REPEAT CHORUS: VERSE 4 C F 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 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 REPEAT CHORUS: END
