Thread Name: US Highways (fed and state) and songs about them
Subject: ADD: Free Fallin' (Tom Petty)
Hey, this is fun. Sure, go ahead and add to the fun with state highways. But maybe it's best to keep this about highways in the US.
My favorite US 101 song is "Free Fallin', recorded by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The vampires are on Ventura Boulevard, which was US 101 at one time, and it's a boulevard that tells the story of Los Angeles better than any other. I'm 72 years old, and I still love to cruise Ventura Boulevard, not that I'm a vampire or anything like that. I did it first in 1974.
FREE FALLIN' (Jeff Lynne / Thomas Earl Petty)
She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America, too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend, too
And it's a long day livin' in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart
And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Boulevard And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows And the good girls are home with broken hearts And I'm free, free fallin' Yeah I'm free, free fallin' Free fallin', now I'm free fallin' Now I'm Free fallin', now I'm free fallin'
I wanna glide down over Mulholland I wanna write her name in the sky I'm gonna free fall out into nothin' Gonna leave this world for a while And I'm free (free fallin', now I'm free fallin') Free fallin' (free fallin', now I'm free fallin') Yeah I'm free (free fallin', now I'm free fallin') Free fallin' (free fallin', now I'm free fallin') (Now I'm) Yeah, I'm free, free fallin' Oh! Free fallin' Now I'm free fallin' Free fallin' (Free fallin', now I'm free fallin') And I'm free (Free fallin', now I'm free fallin') Oh, free fallin' (Free fallin', now I'm free fallin') Source: LyricFind
