" "
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down;
I had the radio on, I was drivin'.
The trees went by, me and Del were singin',
Little runaway, I was flyin'.<p>Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me.
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads.
I'm runnin' down a dream.

Additional quotes by Tom Petty

Good love is hard to find.
You got lucky, babe.
You got lucky, babe, when I found you.

An act like ours wouldn't even be around today if someone hadn't brought us along and let us make mistakes and grow at our own pace. Today it seems that if you don't have a hit — or even if you do — they have no use for you the next time.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
