Music has power to change us. Tom Petty's work added more to my life than I could ever describe here. Whether we talk about his music or his acting, he's never missed the mark.
I hope you'll appreciate the tribute I've tried to give a man who had my respect and admiration for decades. It's meant to loosely fit with one of his most popular songs.
HEARTBROKEN (Tom Petty Tribute)
It's a good song, just like all your others
and we love it 'cause it makes us feel cool
and we love you, cause you tell us stories
when we hear them, we know that they're true
It's a short life, living in the real world
Gotta fill it with all that we can
You did a great job, you showed us some wonders
You're a Good Man, and we're all your fans
And you're free, we're heartbroken
Yeah you're free, we're heartbroken
All the old folks and generations after
will remember running down a dream
We got lucky, 'cause love is a long road
learning to fly, we were all refugees
And you're free, we're heartbroken
Yeah you're free, we're heartbroken
You're gonna glide now, and we're gonna miss you
We're gonna sit here, break down and cry
And you're thinking, you'll fall into nothin'
But you'll stay here forever, we won't say goodbye
And you're free, we're heartbroken
Yeah you're free, we're heartbroken...
