lyrics

Penny Moore was standing by
A crowd of men who couldn't try
To take her heart away
Try to give her what she needed

And everyday past waiting through
Lot's of folks who're loving you
To try to try to much
And to feel your feelings out yeah yeah

Penny Moore left home the day
Her father said it's anyway
And everything I say is how
You live and how you walk
It’s how you breathe and how you talk
Oh Penny Moore

So penny said I’m leaving home
Her father said it'd be alone
And don't expect that you'll return
You're no longer welcome here
And he did not cry a tear
For Penny Moore

So Penny Moore got on a train
Then on a bus the on a plane
To try get away from her problems in her head

But she didn't see or think about
Her problems or the lack of doubt
And how she'd have to deal
With everything ahead

And everyday a little Moore
Was standing cold and waiting for
A man to say I love you so
If only for an hour and with out a pretty flower
Oh Penny Moore

But she could see her life was bad
And everything that made her mad
Had made her leave only home
And made her father grin and she could not let him win
Oh Penny Moore

Penny Moore woke up again
In the street alone without a friend
Her hands were nearly froze
And they stained from all the smoking

And every time she'd say to you
What am I supposed to do
You'd simply have to say
Miss Penny Moore it's time to go home
Now it's time to go home
Yeah yes it’s time to go home time to go home

Cause he didn't mean everything he said
Now Penny’s dad was nearly dead
And he would die alone
Without his daughter knowing

That the time he spent away from her
Had broke his heart and he was sure
He would never see Penny’s face again
Her face again her face again

But the words had made it to her ears
And Penny realized her fears
So somehow made her way back home
But would it be in time just to see him one last time
Oh Penny Moore

So Penny Moore got off a plane
Then off a bus then off a train
Into a yellow cab
Which drove in his direction

And even though she had been gone
What didn't seem like very long
Her face had really changed
Yeah it must have been the cold

And when her eyes had met with his
He began to cry and she had to miss
The time that they had spent apart
Was longer than a day too long for them to say
Oh Penny Moore

And as Penny's dad began to die
Penny Moore began to cry
And as he slipped away
She whispered in his ear

Oh Daddy oh I love you so
And tell me once before you go
That you love me too
And you're glad I came home
That you are glad I came home
That you are glad I came home yeah
Now go to heaven all alone
