Madmen crawl
Across the wall
Knight gets away
Kings all fall
Queens chase men
The saints all sin
And good things
All must end
But she goes on forever
But she goes on forever
She's gonna shine forever
Like a diamond
In the sunlight
Big full moon
Above the road
I'm a long long way
From tomorrow
Gotta light my way
Down this highway
To get to her
But she goes on forever
She goes on forever
Yeah she's gonna shine forever
Like a diamond
In the sunlight
Deacons steal
And ma can't feel
If you're lonely
And behind the wheel
When the ground gives way
You have to pray
To the unknown
And hope it's real
But she goes on forever
She goes on forever
Yeah, she's gonna shine forever
She goes on forever
She goes on forever
Yeah, she's gonna shine forever
Like a diamond
In the sunlight

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.
