VERSE 1
C5                       F5
Bill and I got married following our first-born
D5                      A5                 G5
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died      
C5                              F5
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby      
D5                              G5                    C5     
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago      

VERSE 2
C5                    F5
Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I.
D5                   A5             G5
Gas up and away they fly moving down the line
C5                  
But this beat up truck and worn out shoes
F5
Always giving me the blues
D5                        G5
Bill is sucking down the booze nearly every night

CHORUS:
F5                  G5            C5              F5
I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright
C5             F5                D5                G5
Not like this country night the sky's black as coal                  
F5                    G5
And this gas station mountain home            
C5              F5
Not a thing to call my own
C5            F5            D5     G5     C5
I wish I was alone with a penny to my name                  

VERSE 3
C5                            F5
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
D5                                A5            G5
But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it every day
C5                           F5
If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean tides
D5                           G5
City skyline in the night I'll be dancing till the dawn

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4

C5                  F5
Bill and I got married following our first-born
D5                  A5               G5
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C5                       F5
Maybe Bill and I someday will find a chance to get away
D5                        G5
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star


 REPEAT CHORUS:
