tom petty and the heartbreakers - super bowl xlii halftime show lyrics

[part. i: “american girl”]

[verse 1]
well, she was an american girl
raised on promises
she couldn’t help thinkin’ that there
was a little more to life somewhere else
after all, it was a great big world
with lots of places to run to
and if she had to die tryin’, she
had one little promise she was gonna keep

[chorus]
oh yeah, all right
take it easy, baby
make it last all night (make it last all night)
she was an american girl

[verse 2]
well, it was kinda cold that night
she stood alone on her balcony (ooh)
yeah, she could hear the cars roll by
out on 441 likе waves crashin’ on the beach
and for onе desperate moment there
he crept back in her memory
god, it’s so painful when something that is so close
is still so far out of reach
[chorus]
oh yeah, all right
take it easy, baby
make it last all night (make it last all night)
she was an american girl (ooh)

[part. ii: “i won’t back down”]

[verse 1]
well, i won’t back down
no, i won’t back down
you can stand me up at the gates of h+ll
but i won’t back down
i’m gonna stand my ground
we won’t be turned around
and i’ll keep this world from draggin’ me down
gonna stand my ground
and i won’t back down

[chorus]
hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
hey i will stand my ground
and i won’t back down

[instrumental break]
[chorus]
hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
hey i won’t back down
hey baby, there ain’t no easy way out
hey i will stand my ground
and i won’t back down
thank you

[part. iii: “free fallin’”]

[verse 1]
she’s a good girl, loves her mama
loves jesus and america too
she’s a good girl, crazy ’bout elvis
loves horses and her boyfriend too

[verse 2]
it’s a long day livin’ in reseda
there’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
and i’m a bad boy ’cause i don’t even miss her
i’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart

[chorus]
and i’m free
free fallin’ (fallin’, fallin’, fallin’)
yeah, i’m free
free fallin’
[bridge]
i wanna glide down over mulholland
i wanna write her name in the sky
i’m gonna free fall out into nothin’
gonna leave this world for a while

[chorus]
and i’m free
i’m free fallin’ (fallin’, fallin’, fallin’)
yeah, i’m free
free fallin’
[?]

[outro]
and i’m free
(free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)
free fallin’
(free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)
free fallin’ (free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)
yeah, i’m free (free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)
free fallin’ (free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)
(free fallin’, i’m+a free fallin’, i’m+a)

[part. iv: “runnin’ down a dream”]

[verse 1]
it was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
i had the radio on, i was drivin’
trees went by, me and del were singin’ little runaway
i was flyin’

[chorus]
i’m runnin’ down a dream that never would’ve come to me
workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
runnin’ down a dream
yeah, i’m runnin’ down a dream that never would’ve come to me
workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
i’m runnin’ down a dream

[guitar solo]

thank you so much, thank you, thankyou
