26 Cents

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 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 and 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 all of 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 and 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 all of your momma's love

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
