Penny To My Name (Album Version) - Eva Cassidy (伊娃·卡斯迪)

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

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

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

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

Bill and I got married following our first born

Daddy left this gas convenience store just before he died

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

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

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
