Tom Petty

Album:

Hard promises

It didn't feel like Sunday
 Didn't feel like June
 When he met his silent partner in that lonely corner room
 That over looked the marquee
 Of the Plaza all-adult
 And he was not lookin' for romance -- just someone he could trust


 Chorus
 And it wasn't no way to carry on
 It wasn't no way to live
 But he could put up with it for a little while
 He was workin' on something big


 Speedball rang the night clerk
 Said, "Send me up a drink"
 The night clerk said, "It's Sunday man, ...wait a minute let me think
 There's a little place outside of town that might
 Still have some wine"
 Speedball said, "Forget it, can I have an outside line"


 (Repeat Chorus)


 It was Monday when the daymaids
 Found the still made bed
 All except the pillows that lay stacked
 Up at the head
 And one said, "I know I've seen his face
 I wonder who he is?"
 The other said, "Probably just another clown
 Workin' on something big"


 (Repeat Chorus)
