Píseň: Swingin'

Interpret:
Tom Petty
Album:
Echo
Well, she was standing by the highway
 In her boots and silver spurs
 Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
 When a Cadillac stopped for her
 And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"
 Yeah, that's when it happened
 The world caught fire that day


 And she went down swingin'
 Yeah, she went down swingin'


 Well, she was over twenty-one
 In trouble with the law
 And it didn't faze her none
 She called her mother-in-law
 And said I need a little money
 I knew I could count on you
 After that night in Vegas
 And the hell that we went through




 We went down swingin'
 Like Benny Goodman
 Yeah, we went down swingin'


 Moonlight on the interstate
 She was 'cross the Georgia line
 Looked out the window feeling great
 Yeah, it had to come in time
 And she said I'm never goin' back
 She said at last I'm free
 I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me


 She went down swingin'
 Like Glenn Miller
 Yeah, she went down swingin'
 Like Tommy Dorsey
 Yeah, she went down swingin'
 Like Sammy Davis
 She went down swingin'
 Like Sonny Liston
