26 Cents

The Wilkinsons

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 goodbyes 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 in 26 cents

If you get lonely call me, anytime at all
and I'll be there with you, always
Any where 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 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
Any where 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 me, anytime at all
and I'll be there with you, always
Any where 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.
