Penny To My Name
guitar chords lyrics
ARTIST: EVA CASSIDY
SONG: PENNY TO MY NAME
VERSE 1
C F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm Am G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C F
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
Dm G C
Sometimes I think maybe I should have left here long ago
VERSE 2
C F
Travelers are stopping by check their oil and their P.S.I.
Dm Am G
Gas up and away they fly moving down the line
C
But this beat up truck and worn out shoes
F
Always giving me the blues
Dm G
Bill is sucking down the booze nearly every night
CHORUS:
F G C F
I've never seen the city lights how they must shine so bright
C F D G
Not like this country night the sky's black as coal
F G
And this gas station mountain home
C F
Not a thing to call my own
C F D G C
I wish I was alone with a penny to my name
VERSE 3
C F
Strangers say this mountain here is beautiful beyond compare
Dm Am G
But it's just a dumb old mountain there I see it every day
C F
If I could see a sunset skies over fields of grain or ocean tides
Dm G
City skyline in the night I'll be dancing till the dawn
REPEAT CHORUS:
VERSE 4
C F
Bill and I got married following our first-born
Dm Am G
Daddy left this gas and convenience store just before he died
C F
Maybe Bill and I someday will find a chance to get away
Dm G
Until then it's here I'll stay wishing on a star
REPEAT CHORUS:
END
