Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne's classic "Free Fallin'" tells the story of a small-town girl living in Heartland, USA. The free fall is letting go, embracing the world and the sensation of total freedom. It's an American pop classic sung from a female perspective in an intimate live setting.
lyrics
I'm a good girl,
Love my Mama
Love Jesus,
And America too.
I'm a good girl,
Crazy 'bout Elvis
Love horses
And my boyfriend too.
It's a long day
Living in Reseda
There's a freeway
Runnin' through the yard
And you're a bad boy
'Cause you don't even miss me
You're a bad boy
For breakin my heart
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
All the vampires,
Walking through the valley
They move west on
Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys
Are standin in the shadows
And all the good girls
Are at home with broken hearts.
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
I'm gonna glide down
Over Mullholland
I'm gonna write his
His name in the sky.
I'm gonna free fall
Out into nothing
I'm gonna leave this
This world for a while.
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
And I'm free
Free fallin, fallin.
