Breakdown

Listening to Radio Free Colorado gives me the opportunity to tell you about a live version of Tom Petty's song Breakdown. This version comes live from "Pack up the Plantation" (1985) This version is one of my favorites because Petty lets the crowd sing the first verse, and then proclaims "You guys are gonna put me out of a job" in his always calm and cool tone of voice.Breakdown

It’s all right if you love me
It’s al l right if you don’t
I’m not afraid of you runnin’ away
Honey, I get the feelin’ you won’t

There is no sense in pretendin’
Your eyes give you give away
Something inside you is feelin’ like I do
We’ve said all there is to say

Baby, breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, I’m standing here, can you see?
Breakdown, it’s all right
It’s all right
It’s all right

Breakdown, go ahead give it to me
Breakdown, honey take me through the night
Breakdown, I’m standing here, can you see?
Breakdown, it’s all right
It’s all right
It’s all right
