Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (alternately styled Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) is an American rock band from Gainesville, Florida. Formed in 1976, the band originally comprised Tom Petty (lead singer, guitar), Mike Campbell (lead guitarist), Ron Blair (bass guitar), Stan Lynch (drums), and Benmont Tench (keyboards). The band largely maintained this lineup, with a few exceptions. In 1981, Blair, tired of the touring lifestyle, left the band. His replacement, Howie Epstein, stayed with the band for the next two decades. In 1991, Scott Thurston joined the band as a multi-instrumentalist—mostly on rhythm guitar and second keyboards.

They said love was a thing of the past
That these days nothing ever lasts
This old world is moving too fast

Well sometimes we ride around
She plays her radio up loud
If I was sad, well, I'm happy now

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive

I got a job, I work hard
These days the money don't go very far
It's hard enough keeping gas in the car

But sometimes we ride around
She plays the radio up loud
If I was sad, well, I'm happy now

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive

Yeah you're keeping me alive
Yeah you're keeping me alive
