(Tom Leadon)
I'm over here missing you today
Are you feeling the same way too?
Sometimes it seems like you're so far away
And I just don't know what I can do

On the other side of the mountain
Where I long, I long to be, to be with you
But this mountain that's there between us
Makes it so hard, so hard to see
To see it through

(Tom Petty)
The life we had grows distant now
You let me in so close, so long
When your spirit moves 'round the room
I can't help but do the right thing wrong

If I could only find a way
I'd be headed over there to your side
But until the mountain moves I can only pray
And you know I won't be satisfied

(Chorus)

(Petty)
If I could slide through these bars
I'd go back and cross that burning bridge
Just to hold you in my arms
I'd find a way to grab that rocky ridge

(Chorus)

This Gainesville Florida band used to be called The Epics. Then someone in the band suggested the new name Mudcrutch. Tom says it wasn’t him; band mates say it was. It fell apart after moving to California. From its ashes Tom Petty built The Heartbreakers. Later in life, though, Tom got the band back together and they recorded two albums. Some of Tom’s best songs (“Hungry No More”, “I Forgive It All”, “Crystal River”) are on these records.
