From the recording TOO
Tom Petty played his last song, American Girl, at the Hollywood Bowl on September 25, 2017. He thanked everyone, walked off stage, and was gone soon after. Made me think, some day I'll play the last song I'll ever play, and yet, I hope to be headed up Life's Highway after that, still happy and doin' other stuff. So, c'mon, sing along and make you happy another day.
Lyrics
Comes a day, headed up life’s highway
I’ll play the last song I’ll ever play
Had my time in the sun
Hope I ain’t left much undone
Feelin’ pretty good, I’ve gotta say
And I aint’ down
I’ve knocked around
And what I’ve found
There’s a last song I’ll ever play
Oh, I’m headed up life’s highway
There’s a last song; c’mon, sing along
Make you happy another day
I believe it’s true: it’s been a good life with you
Thinking about all we’ve had and what we’ve done
Comes the last thing I ever do
Please know I’m loving you
Feeling quite alright, I’m on my way
And I aint’ down
I’ve knocked around
And what I’ve found
There’s a last song I’ll ever play
Oh, I’m headed up life’s highway
There’s a last song; c’mon, sing along
Make you happy another day
There’s a last song I’ll ever play
Oh, I’m headed up life’s highway
There’s a last song; c’mon, sing along
make you happy another day
1 2 3
There’s a last song; c’mon, sing along
Oh, I’m headed up Life’s Highway
There’s a last song; c’mon, sing along
Make ya happy another day
Make ya happy another day
Make ya happy another day
