She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont

the courage of just 18 years

A penny and quarter 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

CHORUS

When you get lonely, call me any time at all

I'll be there with you, always, anywhere at all

There's nothing I 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 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



CHORUS



bridge:

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 enought

Here's a penny for your thoughts,

A quarter for the call

And all of your Momma's love

A penny for your thought

A quarter for the call

And all of your momma's love
