Tom Petty Songtext
von Adam Brand

I hear you, Tom Petty
I ain′t ever gonna back down
And I won't go easy
That′s how you grow up in this town
It's dust and dirt and sweat and guts
Standing after 15 rounds
We keep rolling
To what goes around comes around

We're rolling out of bed with the punches
Hit now and then but we get back up
No slowing, it′s a racetrack life everyday
And Lord knows, we ain′t got much
But he makes sure that we have enough
To get by, got a hard cup of coffee and a little faith


Oh, and I hear you, Tom Petty
I ain't ever gonna back down
And I won′t go easy
That's how you grow up in this town
It′s dust and dirt and sweat and guts
Standing after 15 rounds
We keep rolling
To what goes around comes around

Working, surviving, between Sundays we lose our way
Forgive me, I'm trying, give a working man a little grace
Just a little grace
We′re here, we're ready
This is a fourth quarter kind of town

I hear you, Tom Petty
I ain't ever gonna back down
And I won′t go easy
That′s how you grow up in this town
It's dust and dirt and sweat and guts
Standing after 15 rounds
We keep rolling
To what goes around comes around

I′ll stand my ground
I hear you, Tom Petty
