One more night, God, I've had to fight
To keep my line of sight on what's real
One more day, I fear I've lost my way
I don't know how to say what I feel

Someone better hurry, I'm all alone
I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
Yeah, I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?

One more night, my eyes reflect the light
In the distance, something bright appears
One more day, it's too hard to explain
What goes on in my brain is not clear

Someone better hurry, I'm all alone
I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
Yeah, I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?

So hold on one more night
Hold out one more day
Hold on one more night
Hold out one more day

There'll be one more night and things will be made right
Again I'll hold you tight, my dear
One more day and I'll collect my pay
And soon be far away from here

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.
