* 8-bar intro
* Verse 1 Bill and I got married following our first-born.
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died,
And I was only 19 when I had my 3rd baby.
Sometimes, I think maybe I should've left here long ago.
* Verse 2 Travelers are stoppin' by,
Check their oil and their P.S.I.
Gas up and away they fly,
Movin' down the line,
But this beat-up truck and worn-out shoes always given me the blues.
Bill us up and down the booze nearly every night.
* Chorus I've 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.
* 7-bar break
* Verse 3 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 the sunset skies over fields of green and rushing tides,
City skyline in the night,
I'll be dancin' 'til the dawn.
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 4 Bill and I got married following our first-born.
Daddy left this gas and 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 wishin' on a star.
* Repeat chorus
