classic tom petty and the heartbreakers i know all of there music is great this was there breakout album yes vinyl damn the torpedoes back over30 yrs plus played both sides yes envibing 2 long live rock!!!!!!!
I literally cant hear enough of this song. Tom Petty is a real legend of rock and songs like this are the exact reason. I truly hope that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers dont stop playing until theyre all gone. I hope that some day i can play/write like they do. Also everybody should check out my channel! Thanks to anyone who does
One of my favorite Tom Petty songs. Reminds me of high school, sitting on my friends roof at night, smoking cigarettes and talking. There's nothing like the desert skies in Tucson Arizona. I've lived in many states over the years, but I have never seen the stars so bright & clearly anywhere else.
Reminds me of my Navy years. Bought this album right before my first deployment overseas. Recorded it a cassette and listened to it on those long patrol flights. Burned into my brain. Love it.
Our parents thought our music was cr*p and they had some pretty good music. I think my kid's music is cr*p and I KNOW I had some dam* good music during the 70's. I wonder what our kids are gonna think of the music they had when they have teenagers.

U of A, 1980, I am in my dorm, I hear this guy singing. I walk over to the theater on campus. Tom and the Hrtbrs playing. I hear 'Refugee', 'American girl', just standing outside talking to the guard. Finally, a door opens, I go in and watch from the back. Tom says, "riding around campus, all the fine women, driver says, "ya can't touch 'em without cocaine" and he breaks into that song (you think you're gonna take her away) Tom sang POWERFUL. I became an instant fan.
Not a smoker, but I've done the rest of it . . . sitting on the roof with her looking at stars, throwing rocks off the overpass into water with her, so great. . . . I'm such a sucker for the chase.
It's just the normal noises in here . . . It doesn't get any better than this. WTG Tom! Keep it up man. As long as you keep touring, I won't feel like I'm gettin' any older. It's such a drag when you're livin' in the past.
These were really good times. I loved life back then. I had my old Accord with the Alpine stereo 6by9 speakers. Going home from school. I thought I was so cool. I even had the 80's smell....
this track very like springsteen which is ok by me! these artists are one of a kind that you dont see these days,with mediocre talent shows breeding wannabees who cant sing for shit!
summer time liven your life it is short I remember these days forever now I got 4 kids but when i;m gone they live on as wild as i was rock on to all that know what i;m talking about .tom petty rock on''''''''''''
@bfnputz Sorry but I have to disagree with you. I was the same age and I wish I could go back to those days. Not only for the music but for everything else: TV, movies etc. At least we had a variety of shows to watch instead of this so called reality crap. Great times!
Tom Petty rocks. This song is an all-time classic for those of us nerds who grew up ignored by the hot girls and then managing to strike gold just once.
Come on a little quick to assume one is white trash. I was giving a sardonic answer, not an answer that I find practical. If you can't pick up on the sarcasm that's fine but don't assume that I drive a pick up. I've never paid for sex or drove a truck.
