Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Producer: Mike W. Campbell Tom Petty

She graduated high school
I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the army
I could've had the navy
But no I had to go for a mobile home

Yeah I guess I gave it all for you babe
There wasn't room in that trailer for two babe

I kept up with my interest
I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye
I never asked why
Man we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times

But I guess I gave it all to you babe
There's not room in no trailer for two babe

Well I guess I gave it all for you babe
All for you and your trailer too babe

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.
