Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: My Life / Your World
Lyrics for Album: Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) [1987]



They came this mornin' with a dog on a chain

They came and took my little brother away

His generation never even got a name



My momma was a rocker way back in '53

Buys them old records that they sell on T.V.

I know Chuck Berry wasn't singin' that to me



(Chorus)

Mama,

That's all right, it's your world

Hey, this is my life

She's my girl

My life / your world



I watch that fortune wheel

But never get to spin it

You made me promises, I don't think you meant it

If there's some sunshine baby

I'm gonna get out in it, oh yeah



(Chous)



I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped

The beach was burnin', and someone was

Throwin' rocks

They said an airplane had

Fallen in my block



(Chorus)


About My Life / Your World

Tom Petty's "My Life / Your World," featured on the 1987 compilation *Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)*, stands as a poignant reflection on the fragility of relationships and the inevitability of separation. Recorded during a period when Petty was navigating personal challenges, the track blends his signature rock energy with a melancholic undertone that underscores themes of loyalty and loss. The song's dual structure allows it to function as both a narrative of shared history and a lament for a fading partnership, capturing the emotional weight of growing apart. As part of Petty's extensive discography, this recording exemplifies his ability to weave complex emotional landscapes into accessible rock anthems. It resonates with listeners who have experienced the bittersweet transition from companionship to solitude, offering a timeless commentary on the human condition. The song remains a staple in discussions of Petty's later work, highlighting his enduring capacity to craft music that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
