🎶 Penny to my name

VERSE 1
[A#]Bill and I got married [Em]following our first-born
[Eb]Daddy left this gas and [Bb]convenience store [Db]just before he died
[A#]And I was only nineteen when I [Em]had my third baby
[Eb]Sometimes I think maybe I should [Db]have left here long [A#]ago

VERSE 2
[A#]Travelers are stopping by [Em]check their oil and their P.S.I.
[Eb]Gas up and away they fly [Db]moving down the line
[A#]But this beat up truck and worn out shoes
[Em]Always giving me the blues
[Eb]Bill is sucking down the booze [Db]nearly every night

CHORUS:
[Em]I've never seen the [Db]city lights [A#]how they must [Em]shine so bright
[A#]Not like this [Em]country night the [Cb]sky's black as [Db]coal
[Em]And this gas station [Db]mountain home
[A#]Not a thing to [Em]call my own
[A#]I wish I was [Em]alone with a [Cb]penny [Db]to my [A#]name

VERSE 3
[A#]Strangers say this mountain here is [Em]beautiful beyond compare
[Eb]But it's just a dumb old mountain there I [Bb]see it every [Db]day
[A#]If I could see a sunset skies over [Em]fields of grain or ocean tides
[Eb]City skyline in the night I'll be [Db]dancing till the dawn

REPEAT CHORUS:
[Em]I've never seen the [Db]city lights [A#]how they must [Em]shine so bright
[A#]Not like this [Em]country night the [Cb]sky's black as [Db]coal
[Em]And this gas station [Db]mountain home
[A#]Not a thing to [Em]call my own
[A#]I wish I was [Em]alone with a [Cb]penny [Db]to my [A#]name

VERSE 4

[A#]Bill and I got married [Em]following our first-born
[Eb]Daddy left this gas and [Bb]convenience store [Db]just before he died
[A#]Maybe Bill and I someday will [Em]find a chance to get away
[Eb]Until then it's here I'll stay [Db]wishing on a star

REPEAT CHORUS:
[Em]I've never seen the [Db]city lights [A#]how they must [Em]shine so bright
[A#]Not like this [Em]country night the [Cb]sky's black as [Db]coal
[Em]And this gas station [Db]mountain home
[A#]Not a thing to [Em]call my own
[A#]I wish I was [Em]alone with a [Cb]penny [Db]to my [A#]name
