I'm so hung up
I'm going to go see her tonight
I'm so hung up
I can't get her out of my mind
Could be just stars in my eyes
Could be this one happened twice

We're overdue for a dream-come-true
Long time nothing new
We're overdue for a dream-come-true

She said she's going
To move to California one day
Said she's going
Out on safari to stay
She's tired of her job and the snow
We both need somewhere to go

(Chorus)

I'm so hung up on her now
I'm so strung out on her now
A gift from the sun to the moon
I hope something changes soon

(Chorus x2)

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.
