She sat alone on a bus out of beaumont
The courage of just 18 years
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
And mommas 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 and Ill be there with you, always
Anywhere at all
Theres nothing Ive got that I wouldnt give
And money is never enough
Heres a penny for your thoughts
A quarter for the call
And all of your mommas love
A penny and a quarter buys a whole lot of nothing
Taped to an old wrinkled note
And when she didnt have much she had all mommas love
Inside that old envelope
When you get lonely, call me
Anytime at all and Ill be there with you, always
Anywhere at all
Theres nothing Ive got that I wouldnt give
And money is never enough
Heres a penny for your thoughts
A quarter for the call
And all of your mommas love
Oh its been years since mommas been gone
But when she holds the coins she feels her love just as strong
When you get lonely, call
