Lord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
TOM PETTYLord, please watch over all these lost children born to chase the hurricane.
TOM PETTYThe waiting is the hardest part.
TOM PETTYSo I started out for God knows where. I guess I’ll know when I get there.
TOM PETTYEven the losers get lucky sometimes. Even the losers keep a little bit of pride. They get lucky sometimes.
TOM PETTYMusic is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.
TOM PETTYYeah, the world would swing if I were king. Can I help it if I still dream time to time?
TOM PETTYGonna wind it up on my guitar. Gonna make that silver sing.
TOM PETTYI would never put my songs in a commercial.
TOM PETTYYou belong somewhere you feel free.
TOM PETTYYou spend your life dreaming, running ’round in a trance, You hang out forever and still miss the dance, And if you get lucky, you might find someone, To help you get over the pain that will come.
TOM PETTYEvery verse a diamond, every chorus gold, the sound was my salvation. It was only everything, before money became king.
TOM PETTYAt the end of the day, you’re just phonograph records.
TOM PETTYI’ve got a room at the top of the world tonight. I can see everything tonight.
TOM PETTYI think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
TOM PETTYRunning down a dream… working on a mystery… going wherever it leads.
TOM PETTYI got my own way of praying.
