You never had a chance, did you, babe
So good lookin', so insecure
And now you say you can't remember
When the line you drew began to blur
Yeah, when all of this is over
Should I lose you in the smoke
I want you to know you were the one
And may my love travel with you everywhere
Baby, may my love travel with you always
Maggie's still trying to rope a tornado
Joe's in the backyard trying to keep things simple
And the lonely DJ's digging a ditch
Trying to keep the flames from the temple
Oh if perhaps I lose you
In the smoke down the road
I want you to know you were the one
And may my love travel with you everywhere
Yeah, may my love travel with you always
How about a cheer for all those bad girls
And all those boys that play that rock 'n' roll
They love it like you love Jesus
It does the same thing to their souls
Yeah, when all of this is over
Should I lose you in the smoke
I want you to know
You were the one
And may my love travel with you everywhere
Yeah may my love travel with you always
Baby may my love travel, with you everywhere
Yeah may my love travel, with you always

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.
