Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I should ve left here long ago
Travellers are stopping by, check their oil and their p.s.i.
Gas up and away to fly, moving down the line
But this beat up truck & worn out shoes always give me the blues
Billy sucking down the booze nearly every night
Chorus
I never seen the city lights
How they must shine so bright
Not like this country night
The sky s 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 say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
But it s just a dumb old mountain; 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
Chorus
Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away
Until then it s here I ll stay wishing on a star
Chorus
