Here Comes My Girl

Here comes my girl, but she don't come around here no more I need to know, did we breakdown? Even the losers say, "Don't do me like that." You don't know how it feels to be a refugee at Mary Jane's last dance I need to know, did we breakdown? Even though the waiting is the hardest part, I won't back down You don't know how it feels to be a refugee at Mary Jane's last dance As I listen to her heart, I'm free fallin' into the great wide open Even though the waiting is the hardest part, I won't back down Something in the air tells me, "You got lucky." As I listen to her heart, I'm free fallin' into the great wide open Instead of runnin' down a dream with my American girl, I'm learning to fly Something in the air tells me, "You got lucky." Even the losers say, "Don't do me like that." Instead of runnin' down a dream with my American girl, I'm learning to fly Here comes my girl, but she don't come around here no more. Tom Petty songs: Here Comes My Girl Don't Come Around Here No More I Need to Know Breakdown Even the Losers Don't Do Me Like That You Don't Know How it Feels Refugee Mary Jane's Last Dance The Waiting I Won't Back Down Listen to Her Heart Free Fallin' Into the Great Wide Open Something in the Air You Got Lucky Runnin' Down a Dream American Girl Learning to Fly 4/13/18
