The Honeycutters - Penny lyrics

All the boys on the corner just standin' round Say here comes Penny in her '88 Royale What's she doing now? She's the queen of their hearts she's the talk of the town She's got rattle snake boots, don't let nothing slow her down Or turn her around Oh, Penny don't let no one turn her down She don't sugar coat it, she don't tell lies She gets what she wants, all she gotta do is smile And they all get in line She turns the fools into saints, the saints into fools She can shoot her whiskey, plays a real mean game of pool All the boys get schooled Oh, Penny, they all wanna lose to you She ain't pretty but she got what it takes Her eyes don't water, her heart don't break Sister don't like her, calls her a tramp But she's just jealous cause she can't get what Penny can And she don't understand I don't want money I don't want love Just wanna be like Penny when I grow up She's just like the birds on the telephone wire If she don't like it all she gotta do is fly And she don't say why Oh, Penny, what's it like to be so justified? She ain't pretty but she got what it takes Her eyes don't water, her heart don't break Mama don't like her, she calls her a tramp But she's just worried cause she can't see what I can And she don't understand I don't want money I don't want love Just wanna be like Penny when I grow up Smoke Pall Malls and talk real tough Drink white liquor and never get drunk Be just like her when I grow up Just like Penny when I grow up
