Lyrics

By tom petty and mike campbell

They came this mornin' with a dog on a chain
They came and took my little brother away
His generation never even got a name

My momma was a rocker way back in '53
Buys them old records that they sell on t.v
I know chuck berry wasn't singin' that to me

Chorus
Momma
That's all right, it's your world
Hey this is my life
She's my girl
My life/your world

I watch that fortune wheel
But never get to spin it
You made me promises, I don't think you meant it
If there's some sunshine baby
I'm gonna get out in it - oh yeah

(Repeat chorus)

I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped
The beach was burnin', and someone was
Throwin' rocks -
They said an airplane had
Fallen on my block
