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 bleeding dye under the fan in the room 
Where the passions burning high by the chair 
With the leopard skin under the light 
It's always Penny and me tonight 

On the plane step up with both my feet 
Riding in seat number 3 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 

Staring at a million city lights 
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky 
Feel the wind brushing slowly by 
If I could soar I'd 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 
Or 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 

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 about the better days 

Singing along to feeling alright, yeah 
Or 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 

Penny and me tonight 
Penny and me tonight 
Penny and me tonight
