Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (alternately styled Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers) is an American rock band from Gainesville, Florida. Formed in 1976, the band originally comprised Tom Petty (lead singer, guitar), Mike Campbell (lead guitarist), Ron Blair (bass guitar), Stan Lynch (drums), and Benmont Tench (keyboards). The band largely maintained this lineup, with a few exceptions. In 1981, Blair, tired of the touring lifestyle, left the band. His replacement, Howie Epstein, stayed with the band for the next two decades. In 1991, Scott Thurston joined the band as a multi-instrumentalist—mostly on rhythm guitar and second keyboards. Blair returned to the Heartbreakers in 2002, the year before Epstein's death. In 1994, Steve Ferrone replaced Lynch on drums. Th… more »

Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea 
That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me 
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys 
And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys 

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet 
Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street 
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes 
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge 

South Carolina put out its arms for me 
Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street 
And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet 
Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy 

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears 
Running down my face, washing out the years 
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes 
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge 

Well I never will get over this English refugee 
Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery 
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea 
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak 

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet 
Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street 
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes 
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge 

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears 
Running down my face, washing out the years 
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes 
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
