Let's have another joint on me
Let's get as gone as we can be
And we'll float around the ceiling
Cause baby you get me high

Let's have a six pack of beer
Sit and watch the walls disappear
And we'll laugh and talk for hours
Oh baby you get me high

Let's smoke a pack of cigarettes
Hey how 'bout a menthol?
You haven't had one of those yet
Yeah we'll laugh, and cough for hours

Oh baby you get me high
Yeah baby you get me high
Oh baby you get me high

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.
