[Verse 1]
You and I will meet again
When we're least expecting it
Somewhere in some far-off place
I will recognize your face
I won't say goodbye, my friend
For you and I will meet again

[Verse 2]
I heard you singing to no one
I saw you dancing all alone
One day you belong to me
Next day I just wouldn't know
One day all the rules will bend
And you and I will meet again

[Bridge]
I've got a feeling
I've got a feeling so strong
Maybe someday our roads will cross

[Verse 3]
A red-winged hawk is circling
The blacktop stretches out for days
How could I get so close to you
And still feel so far away?
I hear a voice come on the wind
Saying you and I will meet again

[Outro]
I don't know how, I don't know when
But you and I will meet again

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.
