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
