Square One

Tom Petty · Highway Companion [2006]

Had to find some higher ground

Had some fear to get around

You can't say what you don't know

Later on won't work no more



Last time through I hid my tracks

Saw that I could not get back

Yeah my way was hard to find

Can't sell yourself for piece of mind



Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears

Took a long time... to get back here



Tried so hard to stand alone

Struggled to see past my nose

Always had more dogs than bones

I could never wear those clothes



It's a dark victory

You won and you also lost

Told her she was satisfied

But it never came across



Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears

Took a long time... to get back here



Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears

Took a long time... to get back here



Square one, my slate is clear

Rest your head on me, my dear

It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears

and took a long time... to get back here
