Keeping Me Alive (outtake, 1982) Songtext
von Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

They say that love was a thing of the past
That these days nothing ever lasts
This old world is moving too fast

Well some times, we ride around
She plays the radio all up loud
And if I was sad well, I′m happy now

And it feels so good to know I got you where you belong
Here in my heart
Right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you′re keeping me alive

I've got a job, I work hard
These days money don't go very far
It′s hard enough keeping gas in the car


Well some times we ride around
She plays the radio up loud
And if I was sad well I′m happy now

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart
Right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you′re keeping me alive

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart
Right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you′re keeping me alive
