This is a good street
We never walked it
You never held my hand as we crossed it
We never stopped along here to light a cigarette
This is a good street

This is a good house
It wasn't our home
It never scuffed you here on this threshold
I never waited for you by the window
This is a good house

This is a good room
You never slept here
You can't betray the faith that is kept here
And then no more tears will be wept here
This is a good room

This is a good bed, we never laid here
You can't erase the love that was made here
And a love that's love will not fade here
This is a good bed

This is a good heart and you can't take it
You can bend it, bruise it and shake it
But no my dear you can't break it
This is good heart

This is a good bed

This is a good room

This a good house

This is a good street
This is a good street
This is a good street

This Gainesville Florida band used to be called The Epics. Then someone in the band suggested the new name Mudcrutch. Tom says it wasn’t him; band mates say it was. It fell apart after moving to California. From its ashes Tom Petty built The Heartbreakers. Later in life, though, Tom got the band back together and they recorded two albums. Some of Tom’s best songs (“Hungry No More”, “I Forgive It All”, “Crystal River”) are on these records.
