![]() Highway Companion (2006) [ larger cover art ] |
Save a dream for me
Words hang in the air
Her demons take the dare
Above the lonely feather circles to the ground
The house don't make a sound
Turn this car around (x2)
I'm goin back
Green and gray and auburn
Gliding down the sky
The devil winks an eye
A figure in the doorway
Shouldering the blame
This ain't without a name
Turn this car around (x2)
I'm goin back (x2)
Yeah!
Hey!
The king and queen are loaded
Falling off to sleep
The ground begins to creep
Rockets in the tail lights
Red burns into night
Rolling out of sight
Turn this car around (x2)
I'm goin back
Turn this car around (x2)
I'm goin back

| xtalman (What dimension?) | Posted: May 21, 2013 - 11:56 Not a stellar Petty tune, but solid. |
| nicolewe | Posted: Feb 16, 2013 - 08:21 Very smooth, I like the Petty. |

You'd have to be comatose to not recognize now that the Earth is warming, and the data strongly (yes, strongly) implicate humanity's nasty fossil fuel habit and forest-clearing tendencies as the cause. Al Gore recognized the trends over 2 decades ago, and had the guts to speak out. If we had heeded his advice, the world would be a much better place. Nature bats last, Miracle. |

Isn't it a little late for you to be up listening to adult music ? It's time you kiss mummy and daddy, go to your room, and STAY THERE !~ PS. Gore is a hell of a lot more intelligent,scientific, accomplished, into keeping this planet and it's occupants alive, and by far less threatening than your short sighted hero Paul Ryan, who, has been nominated for canonization as "St. Paul — the patron saint of the Albatross...., " for his work in giving oil companies huge tax breaks on the backs of the poor. Statistically, American's would by far rather see Paul, Bush I, Bush II and company explore deep space than Gore.. do the math .... check district 26 N.Y. where only Paul could have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. He alone set the R's back at least 4 years and hopefully more . What a guy ! |

| Drunkenlilacwine (almost there) | Posted: Oct 08, 2006 - 13:06 I love Tom Petty and so it is no surprise that I love this song so much. |
| RobK (Leucadia, CA) | Posted: Sep 22, 2006 - 11:02 Shoot...I'm a big Tom Petty fan but when I heard the first few seconds I thought, "Cool, he's playing You Don't Know How it Feels". Only to realize a moment later that it was a different song, but still TP. I hate to hear a good songwriter repeat himself. Well, at least the similarities only lasted those first few seconds. |
