Big Weekend

Tom Petty · Highway Companion [2006]

There's some friends that

I know living in this town

and I've come far to see them.

Gonna track em' down.

They live in a brick house

painted white and brown.



Left a tip for the maid

and I packed up my guitar,

dropped my key on the counter,

rented a car.

Gonna hook up with em' later and go hit the bars.



I need a big weekend.

Kick up the dust.

Yeah a big weekend.

If you don't run, you rust.



Well I may shake your hand

but I won't know your name.

The joke in your language

don't come out the same.

There's times when I'm down

and there's nothing to blame.



I need a big weekend.

Kick up the dust.

Yeah a big weekend.

If you don't run, you rust.



I can work, I can travel,

sleep anywhere,

cross every border with nothing to declare.

You can look back babe,

but it's best not to stare.



I need a big weekend.

Kick up the dust.

Yeah a big weekend.

If you don't run, you rust.
