Anne Elise Hastings and Her Revolving Cast of Characters
Penny and Craig
Penny was a pretty girl
Sun bleached hair with a light curl
I asked her to marry me, the queen of L.A
When I went to war she cried
Couldn't bear to live if I died
I kissed her and I told her that I'd be coming back
Setting foot in Vietnam
The days were hot and felt so long
And I started doubting that I would make it through
Then I saw you and I swear
I must have changed right then and there
And I kept on living 'cause you gave me something to live for
Well, I'll be getting married back home
But by now you're buried in my blood and bones
Just in case we fall away
And I never get to see you
The way you see through me
I'll carry you alongside the silver dollar in my pocket
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
You'd never get to be my bride
The war was done, we'd picked the wrong side
I wiped away my tears as I boarded that plane
I went home and got a gold ring
Penny's got the one that's matching
But I was not the same
And she was not you
I can't tell if she knows or if she cares
That you're the one in my nightly prayers
Just in case we fall away
And I never get to see you
The way you see through me
I'll carry you alongside the silver dollar in my pocket
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
Don't even bother telling me no
I need you bad, gotta see you at least
I'm sorry, pretty Penny, but I gotta go
Back East
Just in case we fall away
And I never get to see you
The way you see through me
I'll carry you alongside the silver dollar in my pocket
Everywhere I go
Everywhere I go
