A coyote ran across the road
On the move without a home
A flash of light reminded me of you
This could well be your last stand
Hold the sunlight in your hand
Spread your fingers, feel the sand fall through
I've done all I can do, now it's up to you

You're flirting with time baby
Flirting with time, but maybe
Time baby, is catching up with you

Shadowmen talk a real good game
Every punchline has your name
You cried out and no one came to you
I've done all I can do, now it's up to you

You're flirting with time baby
Flirting with time, but maybe
Time baby, is catching up with you

Should be more to learn from this
Can't say I know what it is
No difference tween a hit or miss
It's true
I've done all I can do, now it's up to you

You're flirting with time baby
Flirting with time, but maybe
Time baby, is catching up with you

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.
