Tom Petty takes to the stage commanding complete control

On the prowl like a hungry everglades alligator

Guitar strapped on and mike at the ever ready

The words and rhymes they flow like a poetical vibrator

Once were lost in the wilderness but now are found

We got lucky the vibe and the groove has set us free

A wall of sound reaches out and touches us deep inside

Just found our musical home no longer are we refugees

We won’t back down until we find satisfactory salvation

Listening to the crafted words of a song and free falling

You don’t come around here no more it’s a loss to the nation

I need to know if you finally found your American girl

There is so much to say that will remain forever unspoken

Rock n roll has lost yet another endearing hero

Thomas Earl Petty your heart has finally broken
