I'd like to move on sure and easy
Like a cat creeps through the grass
And the foreman seems to know me
Cause I found myself at last
And I'm a full grown boy
And there's laughter on the hillside
From voices far away
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When this night might be the day
And I'm a full grown boy
Yeah
My mind floats away
Yeah
And I'm changing every day
Can you see her in the fire light
Hear how soft and low she sings
How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
When words don't mean a thing
And I'm a full grown boy

This whole album is gold front to back. This is one of those rarer examples of an artist with a deep catalog still putting out amazing stuff right until the end.

It's November 6 2020 in the early am. I think Bill&Co are sending out the vibes some of us are feeling in the USA and I think you for it. This is the End, the end my friend.

Is there anything to be seen in that cover art?   (one of those 3D-eye things) Or is TP just trolling us?

But the album credits only list Campbell as a writer on "Fault Lines".

Maybe Petty was hogging all the credit, or maybe after all that time he could write a song that sounded just like his bud's writing? I dunno.

OK.  I guess I like the new webpage-player.  Nice to have playlist, comments, and Wikipedia in an adjacent panel, since many RP tunes send me to Wikipedia anyway.

Got to scroll down for lyrics!?   And lose the album cover!?!?

Ahhhhhhhh.  Blessed are we with such first-world problems.

This song reminds me a little of Don Henley's song "The Boys of Summer" from 1984...

Thank you for playing this!  And thank you even more for playing some of Tom Petty's less commercial music.

Maybe I'll like it if I hear it more, but that's a poor impersonation of Tom Petty.

 

It's different, which is a good thing.  Otherwise you get people (usually people who are only familiar with a few songs) saying it sounds like every other song he's done.

It is a nice groove, his vocals diminish the song to me though, but it is his band, so he gets to sing.  Tasty guitar solo, however.

way cool, to my ears its got a Leon Russel-y kind of sound

This album is pretty darn above average, imho. There are four or five notable songs, in addition to "Full Grown Boy", including "Forgotten Man", "Red River", "Fault Lines", and "Sins of My Youth".

NOW I see what my TPATH-smitten peeps saw in them in the day. Cool.
