 
She sat all alone on a bus out of Beaumont 
The courage of just eighteen years 
A penny and quarter taped to a letter 
And mamma'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 mamma 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 o' your mamma's love
A penny and quarter buys a whole lotta nothing 
Taped to an old wrinkled note 
But when she didn't have much, she had all mamma's love 
Inside that old envelope
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh it's been years since mamma's been gone 
But when she hold the coins she feels her love 
Just as strong...
REPEAT CHORUS
Here's a penny for your thoughts, a quarter for the call 
And all o' your mamma's love
