Penny & Sparrow - Alabama Haint

To Rate
Ruined my favorite pair of jeans
Never looked up, love
I was in soil, on hands and knees
Covered in foxglove
I see 'em bow down when you sing
I heard the wind run
I saw your sundress start to cling
Color me turned on

I remember hoping you were everything
You were like lightning
You were the turn of the century
You were the reason in hindsight
I woke up
Now whenever you’re around
I'm seeing you but I can’t
You’re an Alabama haint
Mm mm mm

My porch roof paint’s bluе
In a way
Mm mm mm
We’re more or lеss through
In a way
Mm mm mm

Maybe hearsay’s not a rumor
I can’t stay, wish I’d left sooner
Dismayed I’m a later bloomer
Still, hey, I root for my future

I get interviewed by a friend
They wanna know how it ended
They wanna quiz me:
Is this irreversible loss?
Are you gone?
Are you not?

I remember hoping you were everything
You were like lightning
You were the turn of the century
You were the reason in hindsight
I woke up
Now whenever you’re around
I'm seeing you but I can’t
You’re an Alabama haint
Mm mm mm
My porch roof paint’s blue
In a way
Mm mm mm
In a way
Mm mm mm
In a way
Mm mm mm

Penny & Sparrow

Penny & Sparrow is an Americana/soft-folk duo based in Florence, Alabama. The band consists of singer/lyricist Andy Baxter and multi-instrumentalist Kyle Jahnke. Baxter and Jahnke initially began making music together while roommates at University of Texas in Austin, taking the name “Penny & Sparrow” from the title of a friend’s blog. Their music is intimate, quiet, introspective, and paired with deeply honest, profound, and poetic lyrics that strike the listener as being intensely personal. The duo also has a penchant for literary references and frequently share what they are reading, watching, and listening to.

Their often-weighty and melancholy music is sharply contrasted by the duo’s quick wit and banter. Frequently self-described as “not here for a bad time,” Penny & Sparrow comfortably fill their live performances with laughter and casual conversations with the audience.
