Intro
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont
With courage of just 18 years
A penny and quarter were taped to a letter
And Mama's good-bye 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 Mama had wrote
Wrapped up with twenty-six cents
Chorus
When you get lonely call me anytime 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-a your Mama's love
A penny and quarter buys a whole lot of nothin
Taped to an old wrinkled note
And when she didn't have much, she had all Mama's love
Inside that old envelope
Chorus
Oh, it's been years since Mama's been gone
But when she holds a coin she feels her love----just as strong
Chorus
Here's a penny for your thoughts a quarter for the call
And all-a your Mama's love
