1979
was a great year for music. Just look at some of the albums that were released that year:
Parallel Lines,Blondie
Armed Forces, Elvis Costello
Van Halen II, Van Halen
The Wall, Pink Floyd
The Kids Are Alright, The Who
Long Run, The Eagles
As great as those albums are, there is one that still blows me away to this very day: Damn The Torpedos by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
Refugee? Even The Losers? Does it get any better than that? OK, Louisiana Rain kinda sucked but still....any album that has this song on it has to be considered one of THE BEST EVER.
Here Comes My Girl
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
But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise above it
Yeah man, when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
You know, I can tell the whole wide world, shove it,
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all I need tonight
Every now and then, I get down to the end of a day,
I'll have to stop, ask myself, what've I done?
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin ever really seem to come from it
And then she looks me in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin change our minds about it
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all I need tonight
Yeah, every time it seems like there ain't nothin left no more,
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'
Yeah, I just catch myself wonderin', waitin', worryin'
About some silly little things that dont add up to nothin'
And then she looks me in the eye, says, we gonna last forever,
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin change our minds about it.
Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all I need tonight
