My Life / Your World by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1987

They came this morning with a dog on a chain
They came and took my little brother away
His generation never even got a name, oh no

Yeah, my momma was a rocker way back in '53
Buys them old records that they sell on TV
I know Chuck Berry wasn't singing that to me, oh no

Mama, that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life, your world

I watch that fortune wheel, but never get to spin it
You made me promises, I don't think you mean it
If there's some sunshine, baby, I'm going to get out in it, oh yeah

Mama, that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life, your world
I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped
The beach was burning and someone was throwing rocks
They said an aeroplane had fallen on my block, oh yeah

Mama, that's alright
It's your world
Hey, this is my life
She's my girl
My life, your world

My life, your world (x4)
