Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Swingin' Lyrics
Well, she was standing by the highwayIn her boots and silver spursGonna hitchhike to the yellow moonWhen a Cadillac stopped for herAnd she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"Yeah, that's when it happenedThe world caught fire that dayAnd she went down swingin'Yeah, she went down swingin'Well, she was over twenty-oneIn trouble with the lawAnd it didn't faze her noneShe called her mother-in-lawAnd said I need a little moneyI knew I could count on youAfter that night in VegasAnd the hell that we went throughWe went down swingin'Like Benny GoodmanYeah, we went down swingin'Moonlight on the interstateShe was 'cross the Georgia lineLooked out the window feeling greatYeah, it had to come in timeAnd she said I'm never goin' backShe said at last I'm freeI wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of meShe went down swingin'Like Glenn MillerYeah, she went down swingin'Like Tommy DorseyYeah, she went down swingin'Like Sammy DavisShe went down swingin'Like Sonny Liston
