[Verse 1]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked

[Verse 2]
And sundowns are golden
Then fade away
And if I never do nothing
I'm coming back some day, 'cause

[Chorus]
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

[Verse 3]
All around your island
There's a barricade
That keeps out the danger
That holds in the pain

[Verse 4]
And sometimes you're happy
And sometimes you cry
Half of me is ocean
Half of me is sky, but

[Chorus]
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

[Verse 5]
And some things are over
Some things go on
Part of me you carry
And part of me is gone, but

[Chorus]
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

[Chorus]
You got a heart so big
It could crush this town
And I can't hold out forever
Even walls fall down

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.
