Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Swingin' Lyrics

My favourite song from an amazingly good album.

I love this man and this song so much. Tom reminds me so much of my dad. I would give anything to see either of them again. 😭 "The world caught fire that day."

I needed that

Miss Tom something rotten. He was a musical genius. Brilliant writer and beautiful soul.

Top 10 Petty songs!

Man, I never tire of listening to this guy. Thank you Tom Petty for music that will last forever!

"...and she went down swinging, like Sonny Liston."  #rubyofmooseridge   #notfadeaway   #wolfnow

I love " Swingin" bc icr so well. But, on the other hand, icr to about 99.99% of his music. Sometimes I'ma just thinking he is singing to me. R.I.P. Tom..still miss ya dude 💋

Drugs are fun...until they kill you. Awesome Tune.

Beautiful harmonica!

My favorite Tom Petty song. Brilliant.

I love tom petty

Moonlight on the interstate
She was across the Georgia line

Looked out the window feeling great

Yeah, it had to come in time

And she said I'm never going back

She said at last I'm free

I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me
She went down swingin'

Like Glenn Miller

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Tommy Dorsey

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Sammy Davis

She went down swingin'

Like Sonny Liston

Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law

And it didn't faze her none

She called her mother-in-law

And said I need a little money

I knew I could count on you

After that night in Vegas

And the hell that we went through



We went down swingin'

Like Benny Goodman

Yeah, we went down swingin'

Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs

Going to hitchhike to the yellow moon

When a Cadillac stopped for her

And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"

Yeah, that's when it happened

The world caught fire that day



And she went down swingin'

Yeah, she went down swingin'

DRUGS KILLED PETTY, SWINGIN

About this video ; their music was so down to earth, and the ghosts were perfect! The lead actress looked much like Petty's Mom.

One of their very best...perfection

TOM PETTY WENT DOWN SWINGING, GOD BLESS HIS ROCK N ROLL BLUES SOUL

I can't go a day without my Tom Petty fix.
When shit isn't right I turn to this song. Echo is a great record and something in this song gets right to my soul and the healing begins.
Then sadness sets in because Tom is no longer with us and that hurts a lot. He/ They left us with so much great music that we know it was real and honest. There's a comfort in that and there will never be another Tom Petty in my life time. I'm just glad I got to know his music and story.
The word ICON is used way to much these days for undeserving people but Tom was a true ICON.
RIP TOM... TIL WE CROSS PATHS ON THE OTHER SIDE, I'LL KEEP SWINGIN'

There's one thing about swinging and then there's another thing about bold-faced line to motherfukers face and taking his child daddy raised from day one and don't say I didn't f****** raise why you out playing Tradewind all night every night

Sure do miss the guy !

HE WAS MY FAVORITE SINGER!!!

WTF, I THINK THE GIRL IS A WHORE IN THIS, RIGHT?

One of the greatest musicians of all time. Tom is sorely missed but his music will live forever.

TOM SHOULD HAVE FALLEN FROM BUIDING, NO FU STUNT PEOPLE

IS THIS WHEN SHOT UP

TOM OVERDOSED., GOOD BYE. WE PAT TAXES FOR YOU, LOSER

Love this. Tom looks absolutely georgous. He was and always be a legend. God we miss him. He left us all a catalogue of work that doesn't date and since his passing we listen that bit more deeply. He wrote from the heart. Saw him many times in England . Tom and Heartbreakers the greatest live band I ever saw. Such beautiful memories. We loved them in England

So many things with Petty we never got to know. He must've been a very enjoyable person to hang with. Funny, smart, and always authentic.

...Sayin’ dis in the most respectful way possible, but dis MF-er was rawwwww....;)!

The "King" R.I.P. thanks for the music.

My Song Forever

Hey, why does the new guy have to stand outside in the rain?

It's on the darker side, but it's a classic. Tom knew about both the dark and the light. Can't have one without the other.

Top 3 petty song’s

Happy birthday Tom. It’s too soon and raw. So sad and missing u😭❤️🎩💔🎸

this video gave me goose pimples

Good music...!

Estoy escuchando la música de mi vida......puro placer!!!!!

miss you

Perhaps the best album they ever put out. We lost him two years ago today. It still stings. Saw him twice. Late 70s and in 99. Always humble and thankful to the fans.

2:05 - October 1, 2017, was the Vegas Massacre, then we lost Tom on October 2. Today is October 1, 2019. 2yrs. Still hurts.
"After that night in Vegas, and the hell that we went through ♪♫♪♪♫ We went down.....Swingin'...."

one of the most moving videos I ever saw - thanks Tom !!!

luke wilson falling from a window and pert boobies? yes please.

Why do cars that are rolling over hardly ever have engines, transmissions and exhaust systems in videos and movies? So disappointing to people that pay attention to details. How long would it take to shop that shit in?

The man, his band, their music... gone but never forgotten...

Too many people do not know this song.

Miss 'em no matter how he "left the 'Scene.'"

Looks like Tunney from the craft, awesome video..

Oh God. That moment at 1:33 when she looks over her shoulder and the meet eyes for just a second, but he looks away.
She needs solace from someone, just a second of understanding from a sympathetic face and he won't give it.
Makes me cry almost every time. Miss you Mr. Petty

Made me cry too, Amber.

@Edward Patrick Molina Thank you Edward. It's nice to know I'm not the only one

If you gotta go down, always... always...always, go down swingin'---like Tom Petty. RIP Tom. Gawd, we could sure use you now, more than ever.


THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!!!

Hi all, the lyrics. it's difficult to hear the words


Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs

Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac stopped for her

And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"
Yeah, that's when it happened
The world caught fire that day



And she went down swingin'

Yeah, she went down swingin'



Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law
And it didn't faze her none

She called her mother-in-law
And said I need a little money

I knew I could count on you
After that night in Vegas

And the hell that we went through



We went down swingin'

Like Benny Goodman

Yeah, we went down swingin'



Moonlight on the interstate
She was 'cross the Georgia line

Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time

And she said I'm never goin' back
She said at last I'm free

I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me



She went down swingin'

Like Glenn Miller

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Tommy Dorsey

Yeah, she went down swingin'

Like Sammy Davis

She went down swingin'

Like Sonny Liston

I liked the song until I read the words...…….

I miss you Tom.

Как жаль что уходят такие люди(((целый пласт рок культуры.

When I first saw this clip, I knew that beautiful man was doomed.

Ain't coming down --

The image of Tom just leanin' back, boots on the table, playin' the harp is so cool. And Swingin' s among my favorite songs of his.

Howie <3 <3

only god and me can tell,what this man and his songs mean to me.see you soon tom

Tom Petty always had a song that applied to what was happening in my life. Many memories with this song. Thanks and RIP.

Have seen and shared your music a lot Tom, but have really found you today. You are so talented and your music is fantastic. No wonder you collaborated with the best, you are the best. You are still here with us with your music. So sad to lose you. Your legacy is ours and thank you for that. xxx

Heard this song on TP Satellite Radio..loved it ever since! ROCK ON!

the most beautiful ballad from tom petty!with the supersweet ROBIN TUNNEY!!!!!!!!!!!

Go down Swingin' like Sonny Liston.

Замечательный музыкант. Жаль ушёл. Но хорошо, что оставил нам много хороших песен. В данной композиции отличный гитарный проигрыш. Один из немногих музыкантов все песни которого доставляют сердцу удовольствие.

". . like Tommy Morrison"
No doubt
RIP , both Toms

Good times seeing TP every chance I had. Will Never be another. RIP.

Time is aging my appreciation, always there, for Tom Petty. He echoes the deeper thoughts of and older man too.

20 years gone.

Tom was one of a kind. Can't see anybody filling his shoes.

The World Loves & Misses You

Tom Petty was like John Fogerty. He wrote a song for everyone. His songs span the range of human emotions. I never felt the loss of a musician the way I did when he died.

I grew up during the grunge age but I always loved Tom Petty! I remember when Kurt Cobain died and it hurt but Tom Petty passing really hurt he was the best!

Love this song

https://youtu.be/2G1uZU5hiB8

She went down swingin...

Miss yer Tom and your beautiful music

God I miss Tom Petty still...

You'll never find anyone better. Seen him several times. Not one time was it not an absolute great great time. Miss you Tom

Tom Petty came to LA from gatorville Florida and laid it on the line just like this.
Went down in Malibu without a fight after the last show in Hollywood which I was at.
Sure I'm from around here and this is how we go down, swingin'.

It's too bad they wrecked a 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix at 5:28 ... I had a gold 76 Grand Prix , I loved that car

Was in the pool hall today when this song came on. Had forgotten all about it and it brought me back to 1999 when my future wife and I were just kids and didn’t know Shit. This song was everywhere on the radio but I had forgotten all about till today. RIP Tom Petty and thanks for bringing back some good memories.
