Album: Wonderful World

Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
And I was only nineteen when I had my third baby
And sometimes I think maybe I shouldâ‚¬â„¢ve left here long ago

If I could see sunset skies over fields of green or ocean-tides,
City skyline in the night, Iâ‚¬â„¢ll be dancing till the dawn

Chorus:- I never seenâ‚¬

Bill and I got married following our first born
Daddy left this gas & convenience store just before he died
Maybe Bill & I someday will find a chance to get away

Chorus:- I never seenâ‚¬
