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
