[Verse 1]
There was a girl I knew
She said she cared about me
She tried to make my world
The way she thought it should be

[Chorus 1]
Yeah, we were desperate then
To have each other to hold
But love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is a long, long road

[Verse 2]
There were so many times
I would wake up at noon
Yeah, with my head spinning 'round
I would wait for the moon

[Chorus 2]
And give her one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is a long, long road

[Verse 3]
Yeah, it was hard to give up
Some things are hard to let go
Some things are never enough
I guess I only can hope

[Chorus 3]
For maybe one more chance
To try and save my soul
But love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is a long, long road

[Outro]
Love is a long, long road
Yeah, love is a long, long road

Tom Petty

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
