One of the greatest upbeat jamming tunes of all time by Tom
Don't live like a refugee, no more kicking me around...I'm free...
Recorded at Sound City if I wasn't too stoned during watching Grohl's documentary the other night

One of the songs that I like.

one of my first albums, remember the first time I heard this song like it was yesterday. Nonetheless, I've been singing it all these years without knowing the lyrics. too funny
bobbyd1970
Like this song, but he's got so much better. Maybe what he said (below).
I agree with Lissa again! I love this song more than most of Tom Petty's repertoire, but it's soooo miles away from songs like American Girl that it's not fair to compare them.
hey mike im 24 an get it hhahaaha blssingz
heHehe badd azz song
harrison1935
rock at its finest ,,,
I'm 35 and my mother used to play his music all the time, I was 20 when I finally "got it"...
I love Tom Petty more than most musicians! Great live performance, too!
urthsaker
it was too cool when tom played himself in "the postman"...a l t h o u g h he wouldn't cop to his name...you get the idea. anyway, this song has always been a steady rocker. Definitely different in his day.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker s is one of the best bands of all time.
im 14 and i love him he's f**kin' awsome.
im 25 and grew up on tom petty ...still listening tom you're the man!!!!
who knows...mayb e YOU were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.


What a band. Everything is perfect.
I've created a "radio station" around this powerful song. I agree with the "features" listing of this song, except that they left out the powerful base and drums. Its one of TP&H's best.
i love tom !!!!!
