Петти, Том цитаты

“Sometimes life, will get you down, break your heart, steal your crown.”

“Well some say life
Will beat you down,
And break your heart,
Steal your crown.So it started out
For God-knows-where.
I guess I'll know
When I get there.”

“Excuse me if I
Have some place in my mind
Where I go time to time.”

“You belong among the wildflowers.
You belong in a boat out at sea.
you belong with your love on your arm.
You belong somewhere you feel free.”

“Well I won't back down,
No I won't back down.
You could stand me up at the gates of hell,
But I won't back down.”

“Yeah and it's over before you know it.
It all goes by so fast.
Yeah, the bad nights last forever,
And the good nights don't ever seem to last”

“So I started out for God knows where.
I guess I'll know when I get there.”

“How about a cheer
For all those bad girls
And all the boys
That play that rock and roll?
They love it
Like you love Jesus.
It does the same thing
To their souls.”

“Running down a dream…
working on a mystery…
going wherever it leads…”

“I hope you never need no one,
Hope you treasure your independence.
I hope you never fall in love
With someone like you.”

“I can work, I can travel, I can sleep anywhere,
Cross every border with nothing to declare.
You can look back babe, but it's best not to stare.”

“There was Rock 'N' Roll across the dial.
When I think of her, it makes me smile.”

“It's alright if you love me,
It's alright if you don't.
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away,
Honey I get the feeling you won't.”

“I remember feeling this way,
You can lose it without knowing.
You wake up and you don't notice
Which way the wind is blowing”

“And no I can't find no reason to explain the way that I feel.
I remember things being more clearer, at one time things were more real.”

“She's gonna listen to her heart.
It's gonna tell her what to do.
She might need a lot of loving,
But she don't need you.”

“It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin' ever really seems to come from it.”

“One more night, God I've had to fight
To keep my line of sight on what's real
One more day I fear I've lost my way
I don't know how to say what I feel.”

“I can't save you from yourself, you gotta want it.”

“But not me, baby,
I've got you to save me.
Aw, yer so bad.
Best thing I've ever had.
In a world gone mad,
Yer so bad.”

“No I'll stand my ground, 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.”

“Yeah runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me.
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads.
I'm runnin' down a dream.”

“And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me.”

“Cause it can feel like perfection,
But never all the time.
And you don't wanna be alone again.
Oh my, my.”

“There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play,
And says what he wants to say.
Hey, hey, hey.
There goes your freedom of choice;
There goes the last human voice.
There goes the last DJ.”

“You know, sometimes, I don't know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless.
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus.”

“Well I fought for you;
I fought too hard.
To do it all again babe,
It's gone too far.”

“Oh, my, my. Oh, hell, yes.
Honey, put on that party dress.
Buy me a drink, sing me a song.
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long.”

“I just catch myself wonderin', waitin', worryin' bout some silly little things that don't add up to nothin.”
