[Intro]
All of the little children, say
One, two, three, one, two, three

[Verse 1]
I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
See my little darlin'
Yeah, I'm goin' down, out in the fields
And summertime comin'

[Chorus]
And oh, my love, what can I do
What can I do but love you?
For the rest of my days, rest of my nights
What can I do but love you, babe?

[Verse 2]
Summertime falls on a house in the woods
Back by the power lines
I ain't got a neighbor for nine or ten miles
Back in the tall pines

[Chorus]
And hey now, baby, what can I do?
What am I gonna do but trust you?
For the rest of my nights, rest of my days
What can I do but love you, babe?

[Interlude]
Hey now, baby, what am I gonna do?
Rest of my days, rest of my life
Chasin' 'round after you

[Verse 3]
Drive an old car down an old dirt road
Bring me a little somethin'
I'm goin' down to the house in the woods
Gonna see my little baby

[Chorus]
Hey, hey now, baby, what can I do?
What am I gonna do but love you?
The rest of my days, rest of my nights
What can I do but love you, babe?

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.
