The Best of Everything Songtext
von Tom Petty

She probably works in a restaurant
That′s what her momma did
But I don't know if she ever really
Could put up with it

Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
′Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don't know if it ever amounted to anything

So listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

Yeah, it's a rough way of living
And it′s a hard price to pay
She looked around
And she just couldn′t see it
Any other way


'Cause being good looking had its limits
And the rich all seem so poor
Well, some said they were happy
But they never really knew for sure

So listen, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for, oh

Yeah, and it′s over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
And the bad nights take forever
And the good nights don't ever seem to last

And man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back then, we didn′t understand
What we were caught up in

So listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for


Yeah, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
