Radio Paradise (mobile)

Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinking that
There was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
Yeah, and if she had to die
Tryin', she
Had one little promise she was gonna keep
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night ''(make it last all night)''
She was an American girl
Well, it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone on the balcony
Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441 like
Waves crashing on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God, it's so painful when something that's so close
Is still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, alright
Take it easy, baby
Make it last all night ''(make it last all night)''
She was an American girl

robotbass Nov 08, 2012 - 14:15	No doubt Petty's roots are in the Byrds. however, this is a classic. [ Reply ]

Had a classmate in monetary theory who sounded exactly like Buffalo Bob when he talks to the Senator's daughter, imprisoned in his basement: "It has to put the lotion in the basket." There have been sequels and prequels to that movie, and Anthony Hopkins has cashed in by taking on other urbane-psychopath roles, but SotL was an instant classic. [ Reply ]

When I play it for people, they know immediately who it is..."hey, that's Tom Petty" in such a crowded market, it's great to have your very own deal When Roger McGuinn comes on they also say "hey, that's Tom Petty".
