* 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.
