Tom Petty Quotes

I wanna glide down over Mulholland.
I wanna write her name in the sky.
Gonna free fall out into nothing.
Gonna leave this world for a while.

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

One more night, God I've had to fight
To keep my line of sight on what's real
One more day I fear I've lost my way
I don't know how to say what I feel.

How about a cheer
For all those bad girls
And all the boys
That play that rock and roll?
They love it
Like you love Jesus.
It does the same thing
To their souls.

Well she grew up hard, and she grew up fast
In the age of television.
And she made a vow to have it all;
It became her new religion.

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

I felt so good, like anything was possible.
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes.
The last three days the rain was unstoppable.
And it was always cold, no sunshine.

I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants.
You be the girl at the high school dance.

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

Well I fought for you;
I fought too hard.
To do it all again babe,
It's gone too far.

Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Little miss queen of hearts you're a strange thing.
Why you wanna stay so vague?
I'm wandering through this mess you've made
To see what I can save.

I don't understand the ones that have no sense of hope and invest in hate. That's not gonna work out, you know? It's a waste of your time!

Yeah and it's over before you know it.
It all goes by so fast.
Yeah, the bad nights last forever,
And the good nights don't ever seem to last

I'll stand my ground and I won't back down...
