TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS lyrics - All The Wrong Reason

(Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne)



Trouble blew in on a cold dark wind

It came without no warning

And that big ol' house went up for sale

They were on the road by morning

Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season

Oh, out in the cold for all the wrong reasons



Well she grew up hard and she grew up fast

In the age of television

And she made a vow to have it all

It became her new religion

Oh, down in her soul it was an act of treason

Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons



Where the sky begins the horizon ends

Despite the best intentions

And a big ol' man goes up for sale

He becomes his own invention

OH, the days go slow into the changing season

Oh, bought and sold for all the wrong reasons

Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons
