Great opening line, but not even Petty's best. The Hard Promises album opens up with The Waiting and the line "Baby don't it feel like Heaven right now."

This is THE song to listen to in your car while you're driving with the windows down (ie - Jerry McGuire)

Great song, great opening lyrics. The whole song is full of great lyrics, including the devastating "I'm a bad boy 'cause I don't even miss her, I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart." Classic.

Tom Petty probably has more classic rock radio hits then anyone else, this is just one of his classics. He's awesome to see in concert too.

This song is on my skydiving video. I tandem
jumped from 10500 ft. on 22 April in Frankfort, KY to celebrate my 80th birthday freefalling 5000 ft before main chute opened. What a ride.

Has Tom Petty ever written a bad song? A mediocre song? Nope

Wow, how wierd...this song just started like five seconds before I clicked to this page. Great song and great lyrics. Gotta agree with #3 on the bad boy lines!

I do love this song but I find it odd that Tom Petty is such a great lyricist that he actually started writing this song as a joke. Just spouting off what he thought to be funny insignificant lines to his producer. Because he played the rhythm by accident and his producer liked and told him to sing something. I guess it's true sometimes you get things write by accident.
