Tom Petty Quotes

And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me.

And it's hard to say
Who you are these days.
But you run on anyway,
Don't you baby?

People come, people go.
Some grow young, some grow cold.

I'm watching the water Watching the coast Suddenly I know What I want the most And I want to tell you Still I hold back I need some time Get my life on track. I know that look on your face But there's somethin' lucky about this place And there's somethin' good comin' For you and me Somethin' good comin' There has to be.

I saw an angel, I saw my fate.
I can only thank God it was not too late.

I think television's become a downright dangerous thing. It has no moral barometer whatsoever. If you want to talk about something that is all about money, just watch the television. It's damn dangerous. TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It's downright bad for your health now, and that's not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health. The music business looks like, you know, innocent schoolboys compared to the TV business. They care about nothing but profit.

"Free Falling"

She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway runnin' through the yard
I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'

All the vampires walkin' through the valley
Move west down Ventura Blvd
All the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts

And I'm free, I'm free fallin'

I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin'
Gonna leave this world for a while

And I'm free, I'm free fallin

Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.

But not me, baby,
I've got you to save me.
Aw, yer so bad.
Best thing I've ever had.
In a world gone mad,
Yer so bad.

I know so well the look on your face And there's somethin' lucky about this place There's somethin' good comin' Just over the hill Somethin' good comin' I know it will And I'm in for the long run Wherever it goes Ridin' the river Wherever it goes.

It’s very uncomfortable to hear them used when I don’t agree with what’s being said. But I recognize that those songs have entered into a bigger life, a life all their own. They belong to the audience. How they’re used isn’t always something I can control.

It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it.

Now I'm walkin' this street on my own,
but she's with me wherever I go.

She's gonna listen to her heart.
It's gonna tell her what to do.
She might need a lot of loving,
But she don't need you.

She's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces.
She don't want to see.
She's a woman in love, but it's not me.
