Dustbowl Revival - Penelope Lyrics

Oooh hiding
Under the bleachers
Waiting for the blue stars
To come out
Ooh ignoring all the teachers
Green grass eyes
Always met mine across the crowd

Oh how could I know how good I had it
She told me everything
About her favorite animal
The saber tooth tiger
Her main man BB King

Ooh she gave
My first kiss
In an old canoe underneath
That harvest moon

Ooh
I hope we never get older
We both knew that it was coming soon

Oh come and dance with me
My Penelope
She just turned away
I would wait for you
Oh you know it's true
Till my dying day

Ooh

Ooh driving round
In my Datsun
Pretending those high beams
Were an alien ship

Ooh I watch her dance
In the hot sun
Showing off on the high dive
With my backflip

Oh how could I know how good I had it
She told me everything
About her favorite animal
The saber tooth tiger
Her main man BB King

When I saw her cross the room
In in that purple dress
Well I knew, it was all over
You can't fight against a feeling
You can't defend

I wish I could go over there
And just tell her
She would laugh
Honey, we're only friends

Oh how could I know how good I had it
She told me everything
About her favorite animal
The saber tooth tiger
Her main man BB King

Ooh
