Saving Grace Lesson - Tom Petty

Saving Grace, from Tom Petty's Highway Companion album, 2006.

Lyrics:

I'm passing sleeping cities
Fading by degrees
Not believing all I see to be so

I'm flyin over backyards
Country homes and ranches
Watching life between the branches below

Chorus:
And it's hard to say
Who you are these days
But you run on anyway, Don't ya, Baby
You keep runnin' for another place
To find that Saving Grace

I'm moving all alone
Over ground that no one owns
Past statues that atone for my sins

There's a guard on every door
A drink on every floor
Overflowing with a thousand Amens

(Repeat Chorus) ... Don't ya, baby

(Bridge)

You're rolling up the carpet
Of your father's two room mansion
No headroom for expansion no more

There's a corner of the floor
They're telling you is yours
You're confident, but not really sure

(Repeat Chorus) ... Don't ya, Baby

You keep running for another place
To find that Saving Grace
Don't ya, baby

(Outro)

Thanks for the video. I like your version of the descending riff after the 2nd chorus better than something else I had learned. A little higher camera angle and breaking down the percussive effect would have helped me a bit more.
