Lyrics A One Story Town - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

A One Story Town

I’m for standin’up, I’m for breakin’free
I don’t want fate handed down to me --
Yeah, I’m for movin’on, try another town
Time ain’t changin’nothin', take a look around
Oh, I’m lost in a one story town
Where everything’s close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
It’s a one story town --
She was only seventeen
But I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldn’t burn
No, it didn’t hurt me When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasn’t part of me
(Repeat Chorus)
