my dad was found dead in his truck a few weeks ago and this song was found on a cd in his cd player.. i'll always remember this song - rest in peace dad i love you
hey guys please check out my acoustic version of this song you can go here ww.youtube.com/watch?v=3E650F6-rSw or you can just click on my name and itll take you to the channel. thanks !
Such a somber tune yet isn't depressing. Makes you think of past break ups in a positive light. Tom Petty is one of the last great songwriters in rock.
This song is very special, a lot of memories of my Dad....but he is a great performer...this song is amazing!!! I got lucky to hear it the first time with my Dad..
This song is very special, a lot of memories of my Dad....but he is a great performer...this song is amazing!!! I got lucky to hear it the first time with ma Dad..
Im 18 years old. This song reminds my of my dad when he would play this in his car when i was a little kid. It sucks how nowadays, good music like this is dying and being replace by shitty music teens listen in the radio everyday.
some of us chicks can relate to this too and many times over but in relation to those men we've known.. ;)
one guy was actually honest enough to confess to another i had a relationship with why he wasn't with me anymore - the guy told me that he said to him, "she was too good for me" ;)
I remember when this song debuted, I was only 10 and i liked the tune but was not old enough to appreciate the lyrics. Now it's like in like the top 3 Tom Petty songs for me.
I just recited the best lyric of this song when i broke up with my girlfriend. "you got lucky babe, when i found you" It was her fault, i dont want to get into the story though.
Dude I think if she was the right girl for you she would definitely feel lucky! And who would want a girl that wouldn't want to go see Tom?!?!! Move on~there's plenty more out there ;)
yo. i duno what i was talking about then. but im sure shed go with me. its been like a month since my last comment, and we couldnt be mor ein love now. woo. thanks
My g/f made the break with us a few months back, and this song couldn't be any more perfect. It's not depressing, it's not bitter or angry, it's confident. I treated that girl awesome, I've got no regrets; not one. Now I'm moving up to a University as a single male; I've got nothing to lose! =D Tom Petty couldn't have said it any better :)
@NyloStar Tom Petty and David Bowie have carried me through my breakup, too. I'll never quite understand why it ended but I know I'm coming out on top.
@NyloStar be careful it doesnt come back to haunt u, i did that to a girl and met a new one at uni then fecked up and lost her, and for the past few years ive been on my own after losing everything to her friends, my belongings. so be careful what you wish for :)
he got lucky when i found him lmao

I think I recorded the promo video off MTV.
It has a prelude of a synthesizer riff;and
the band is shown in the desert,breaking
open plastic-covered guitars,slot machines
or something...that's been a while...and
in that video they're driving some kind of
futuristic-looking car.
