My love's an ocean, you better not cross it
Yeah, I've been the distance and I need some rest
Yeah, I had somebody once and damn if I lost her
I've been running like a man possessed

[Chorus]
I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I'm a loser at the top of my game
I should've known to keep an eye on you
Now I got a sky that ain't never the same
Yeah, I got a dream that don't ever come true

[Chorus]
I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

[Verse 3]
Sun going down on a canyon wall
I got a soul that ain't never been blessed
Yeah, and I'm a shadow at the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin I ain't never confessed

[Chorus]
I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one
I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart when I'm under the gun
You can break my heart and I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy for no one

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.
