Verse 1
Penny Is A Thirty-Year-Old I Met At A Bar On A Monday Night
I Made An Insensitive Joke About His Glasses, How They Didn′T Sit Quite Right
He Asked If I Was A Poet, I Said, "Not Really, Why, Do I Look It?"
He Said, "I Can Tell By The Way You Speak, You'd Make A Pretty Good Fit"
So I Showed Penny My Music, He Said, "Add A Drum Beat, It Could Be Cool"
I Said, "Well, I′M Into It, I'm Just Scared That I Would Get Made Fun Of At School"
Penny Said, "Look At Me, I'm In Debt, On My Ninth Beer, It′S A Monday Night"
"I′Ve Known You 45 Minutes, And I Know That You Know You've Got More To Your Life"
Chorus
Penny Had Paintings On The Wall And A Mother He Wanted To Go Home To
No One Could Tell Him What He Wanted, He Only Lived By His Own Rules
I Joked, "Penny For Your Thoughts", He Said, "That Anxiety, You Gotta Cut It Off"
He Said My Turn, I Said, "Penny, You′Ve Gotta Sell That Art"
Verse 2
Penny Brought Me To The Back, To A Painting Hung Up On The Bar Wall
He Asked What I Thought About It, I Said "It's Cool, Kinda Looks Like Dried Blood"
He Said, "I Was Angry, So I Grabbed A Paint Brush And Went At It"
If I Didn′T Have Five Bucks I'd Buy It Right There, No One Bought It
Chorus
Penny Had Paintings On The Wall And A Rent That Was Gonna End Him By Autumn
The Bartender Called Last Drinks And He Still Bought A Beer With His Last Dollars
I Joked, "Penny For Your Thoughts", He Said, "That Anxiety, You Gotta Cut It Off"
He Said My Turn, I Said, "Penny, You′Ve Gotta Sell That Art"
Bridge
His Paintings Weren't Clear, The Kind You Only Understand After A Beer
Said My Music Was Dear, But It's Dead Weight If I Don′T Let Anyone Hear
Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh
Oh-Oh Oh
Outro
Oh-Oh Penny Look, I′Ve Done It
On Stage And People Are Listening
You Changed How I See My Life
Penny, You Should Be Here Tonight
