[Verse 1]
You wore out a brand new trunk
Packin' and unpackin' your junk
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

[Chorus 1]
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't do
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
This ain't right and that is wrong
You just keep naggin' all the day long
It's gotta stop, I don't mean please
Now you're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

[Chorus 2]
The way to keep a woman happy
And make her do what's right
Is love her every mornin', bawl her out at night
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
Now you're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

[Fiddle Solo]

[Verse 3]
Every time you get mad
You pack your rags and go back to Dad
You tell him lies he don't believe
Now you're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

[Chorus 1]
You're gonna change your way of livin'
Change the things you do
Stop doin' all the things that you oughtn't do
Your daddy's mad, he's done got peeved
You're gonna change or I'm a-gonna leave

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.
