The Damage You’ve Done (Country Version)Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Released: November 20, 1995

Songwriter: Tom Petty

Producer: Tom Petty Mike W. Campbell

Well I wish I had a dollar
For every piece of my broken heart
Yeah, if they gave out a quarter
For every thread of my shattered life
Baby you'd make me a millionaire
But it wouldn't repair

The damage you've done
The damage you've done
The damage you've done to me

Well I wish I was a bluebird
Honey I'd just fly away
And look down over my shoulder
At the country down below
Baby you could make me a king
It wouldn't mean a thing

Compare the damage

(Chorus)

Well I wish I knew you better
I wish I was close to you
Then maybe I would understand
Exactly what I never did do
Honey what's wrong, what's wrong

Well I wish you kinda liked me
I wish you'd spare my pain
Why do you want to destroy me baby
What did I do wrong
Baby I could be a millionaire
And I wouldn't care
After the damage

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

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.
