Let’s talk about the lyrics to this one first. Tom goes on to say “You don’t have a lot of room to write a story in a song. So you have to be economical with your lines.” and we’ve remarked on that on so many occasions with Tom’s story songs - he usually gives us brief flashes of narrative before either zooming out, changing the POV or switching to a characters thoughts rather than their actions. This one is a pretty tight, compact three act play though and Tom’s economy works really well.

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, \"Conversations with Tom Petty\", this podcast wouldn't be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book \"Petty, the Biography\".
