Well I feel like a forgotten man
I understand the dark
When it hangs upon the water
When the wolves and dogs all bark
Well I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man

Well I feel like a four letter word
I know what few can do
How angry words can pierce the heart
How a soul can sink so low
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man

Well I feel like I'm forever damned
Since our love is gone
No lust, no rage, no wicked thoughts
Just pain, that lingers on
I feel like a forgotten man
I feel like a forgotten man yes
I feel like a forgotten man

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
