|
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
|
The courage of just 18 years
|
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
|
And momma's goodbye in her ears
|
|
She watched as her high school
|
Faded behind her
|
And the house with the white picket fence
|
Then she read the note
|
That her momma had wrote
|
Wrapped up with 26¢
|
|
When you get lonely, call me, anytime at all
|
I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all
|
There's nothing I've got that I wouldn't give
|
And money is never enough
|
Here's a penny for your thoughts
|
A quarter for the call
|
And all of your momma's love
|
|
A penny and a quarter
|
Buys a whole lot of nothing
|
Taped to an old wrinkled note
|
And when she didn't have much
|
She had all momma's love
|
Inside that old envelope
|
|
When you get lonely, call me, anytime at all
|
I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all
|
There's nothing I've got that I wouldn't give
|
And money is never enough
|
Here's a penny for your thoughts
|
A quarter for the call
|
And all of your momma's love
|
|
Oh its been years since momma's been gone
|
But when she holds the coins she feels her love
|
Just as strong
|
|
When you get lonely, call me, anytime at all
|
I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all
|
There's nothing I've got that I wouldn't give
|
And money is never enough
|
Here's a penny for your thoughts
|
A quarter for the call
|
And all of your momma's love
|
|
Here's a penny for your thoughts
|
A quarter for the call
|
And all of your momma's love
|
