One, and two, one, two, three, four

I know you tried hard, hard to get it right
There's a sadness in your eyes
Poor little one, they ruled you like a king
Don't be afraid to depend on me

Nothing matters
(It doesn't matter)
No
(It doesn't matter)
I say you keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh
(It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul and nothing's gonna matter anymore

Lately I've been thinking 'bout gettin' outta town
Through all the heartache, gonna look around
You think it over, baby, you come with me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe

Nothing matters
(It doesn't matter)
No
(It doesn't matter)
When you keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh
(It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul and nothing's gonna matter anymore

And all people got soul, honey
All people got dreams
Don't be afraid, to get up on your feet man
Oh, depend on me
Don't be afraid to live what you believe
Yeah

Doesn't matter
(It doesn't matter)
No
(It doesn't matter)
When you keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Oh
(It doesn't matter)
I say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Nothin' really matters, oh
(It doesn't matter)
Uh-uh-uh
(It doesn't matter)
Keep a little soul and nothin' really matters anymore
(It doesn't matter)
Uh-uh-uh...
(It doesn't matter)
Honey, keep a little soul, nothin' really matters anymore

Oh

That was fun

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
