TFT: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers


 

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


I Won’t Back Down
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Well I
Won't back down
No I
Won't back down
You can stand me up
At the gates of Hell
But I
Won't back down
No I'll
Stand my ground
Won't be
Turned around
And I'll keep this world from
Dragging me down
Gonna
Stand my ground
And I
Won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I
Know what's right
I got
Just one life
In a world that keeps on
Pushin’ me around
But I'll
Stand my ground
And I
Won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I won't back down
I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
I won’t back down
And I won't back down
I won’t back down
No I won’t back down

The Waiting
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Oh baby
Don’t it feel like Heaven right now
Don’t it feel like somethin’ from a dream
Yeah I’ve never known nothin’ quite like this
Don’t it feel like tonight
Might never be again
Maybe we’d know better
Than to try and pretend
No one could have ever told me about this
Say
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You see one more card
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Well yeah
I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good
As I feel right now
Baby you’re the only one
That’s ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
Say
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You get one more yard
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Oh don’t let it kill you baby
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let ‘em kill you baby
Don’t let ‘em get to you
I’ll be your breathin’ heart
I’ll be your cryin’ fool
Don’t let this go too far
Don’t let it get to you

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You get one more yard
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Yeah
The waiting
Is the hardest
Part

Oh oh oh oh oh

It’s the hardest part

Oh oh oh oh oh

It’s the hardest part

  2. Oh yeah, TP!! His old stuff is the BEST. "The Waiting" came out when I was a senior in high school and it was sort of an anthem of sorts--you know, trying to figure out where we were going and what was ahead. Went to see them in concert that summer--incredible is all I can say. Mellow and cool--TP was at his peak way back when. Don't care for him much now, sadly.

  3. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Lin!!! Yeah, I generally like his earlier stuff a lot more, but "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and several other newer ones really caught my fancy.

  4. I've heard the first song before and it is pleasant, you can almost dance to it. The second song is merely innocuous...Forgive me, I'm yawning...

  5. Their Music brings back many memories. It is tough for someone in the music or movie industry to be a Conservative. look at the attacks on Tim Tebow.

  7. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Grace!!! Yes, I am well aware of the fact that people of your age often have to go take a nap after dancing to a song or two. I hope you had sweet dreams.

  8. Thanks for stopping by, my dear Florida Car!!! I do not want to believe that it is his fault, but Tim Tebow has placed himself in an untenable position, nonetheless.
