Penny & Me
Hanson · The Best Of Hanson - Live & Electric (2nd disk dvd) [2005]
Mmm
Cigars in the summertime
Under the sky
By the light
I can feel you read my mind
I can see it in your eyes
Under the moon as it plays
like music every line
There's a rug with a bleeding dye
Under the fan
In the room where the passion is burning high
By the chair with the leopard skin
under the light
It's always Penny and me tonight
Sing oh
Oh
Mmm
Yeah
On the plane
Step with both my feet
Riding the seat number three on a flight to NYC
Got my bean in a coffee cup next to my seat
Catch the view and another good book to read
Sitting at home over the friendly skies
Missing her eyes
It's always Penny and me tonight
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up
Push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes
Pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Sing oh
Oh
No
No
No
No
Staring at a million city lights
But still Penny and I are all alone
beneath the sky
Feel the wind rushing slowly by
If I could soar
I would try to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
but no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
Mmm
Mmm
Or making it by pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up
Push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes
Pretend to fly
Sing oh
Oh
Close our eyes
Pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Penny likes to get away and drown her pain in lemonade
Penny dreams of rainy days and nights up late by the fireplace
And aimless conversations 'bout the better days
Oh
Oh
Singing along to feeling alright
Yeah
Making it by under pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight
'Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up
Push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes
Pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight
Sing oh
Oh
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
Penny and me tonight
