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 cents
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 only 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 only of your momma's love
Oh it's 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 only of your momma's love
Here's a penny for your thoughts
Quarter for the call
And only your momma's love
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 cents 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 only 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 only of your momma's love Oh it's 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 only of your momma's love Here's a penny for your thoughts Quarter for the call And only your momma's love Explain Request ×
