Lyrics:

Bill 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 give 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 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; I see it every day

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

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



Chorus:- I never seen…



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 seen…
