Well the clouds roll by in the big blue sky
As the sun beats down on Casa Dega
And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night
But night is more than just night in Casa Dega

Oh, baby I think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

She said to me as she hold my hand
And reads the lines of a stranger
Yeah, and she knows my name, yeah she knows my plans
In the past in the present and for the future

Yeah, baby now think I'm starting to believe the things that I've heard
'Cause tonight in Casa Dega I hang on every word

Then she said...

Oh

And you almost pay the price of a whisper in the night in Casa Dega
Time rolls by, night is only night, can I save ya?

Yeah, yeah, alright

More than just a night

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.
