I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

Oh, yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh, yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Well, I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh, yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Oh, yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight
Lonely tonight

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.
