God, it's so painful when something that's so close is still so far out of reach.
Tom Petty
I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.
Tom Petty
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some. Tell me, why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon?
Tom Petty
Whatever you're looking for, don't come around here no more.
Tom Petty
It just seems to useless to have to work so hard, and nothing ever really seem to come from it.
Tom Petty
