BBill 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 giving 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 at 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 there; I see it every day


If I could see sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean-tides,

City skyline in the night, I'll be dancing till the dawn





Chorus:- I never seenâ?¦




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:- I never seenâ?¦
