Room at the Top (Tom Petty Cover)

A very special song for me personally.

I did this the day after Dental surgery under the heavy, heavy influence of Vicodin. So if it seems a bit "sluggish", well.....

I hope you enjoy it.

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, I ain't comin' down

I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank
And I'm all right
Look deep in the eyes of love
Look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down

I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I wanna reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down
I ain't comin' down

Thanks. It's hard not to feel that song. I think we all want our own room at the top of the world.

Like the guy said before...I thought this would be good for a few laughs but I must say I was completely dead fucking wrong. That was utterly amazing, thank you for that.

My Favourite Petty song ,my favourite cover of it , I love the raw emotion and total realness of your performance , is there any chance you could attempt Elliot Smiths Between the Bars ? that and fond farewell rank up alongside the room at the top and I would love to hear your interpretation of them , respect to ya , keep rockin brother !!!

We played his song at my brothers memorial service. It helps me believe he does have a room up there and he is watching over me. Tom Petty was the last CD he ever bought and this was one song that was on it. This song makes me sad and I sit here and cry until I cry myself out, but when you were singing this song it totally reminded me of my brother singing, so thanks, alot!

[MoonWalkin16]
