Story Behind The Song

The personal impact of Tom Petty's death

Lyrics

Nov. 2, 2017

I wake up and turn on the morning news
Vegas, 59 dead
Madmen and guns, nothing better to do
Man, it weighs on my head

Hours pass and the day wears on
I get the message that now you're gone
Another one lost to the great beyond
What are gonna do?

And I break down baby, one more time
My world is shrinking, I feel like crying
All my heroes just keep on dying
What am I gonna do?
Now, we've lost you too

I don't think I have any right to complain
I never had it that bad
But sometimes those teen years deliver some pain
Sometimes life can be sad

But when that Rickenbacker played
Got so swept up in the sound it made
I could feel those blues just fade
The music would take me away

Now, I break down...

I remember lovin' American Girl
When rock and roll was a force in the world
Nowadays, music is so absurd
What are we gonna do?
Now we've lost you too
