Songwriter: Tom Petty

Producer: Rodney Crowell

Baby can't wait, baby got to go
Got to do a number on the late, late show
Do a little song, do a little dance
Wants to make the best of her big chance

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
She's tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues

I got a friend, got a little girl
Said, she's the best in the whole wide world
Sounds so good, it sounds unreal
It might not last, but it's no big deal

Don't really matter if she don't or if she do
She's tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues, blues

Baby, save me, save me, save me your sweet smile
Honey, I really need for you to help me kill a little bit of time

All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money, they live in a dream
They want to be the queen of every little scene

Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues, blues

Baby, save me, save me, save me your sweet smile
Honey, I really need for you to help me kill a little bit of time

All of the girls run with the crowd
They go wild when the lights go down
They got a little money, they live in a dream
They want to be the queen of every little scene

Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues, blues

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
