No More
Tom Petty · Echo [1999]
No more
I ain't gonna do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But, I ain't gonna do it
If it ain't real
Big money
Big plans
You stand with a ticket in your hand
You don't play you can't win
But, I ain't gonna do it
'Til I feel it again
When I see that sun go down
My mind begins to clear
Sure was a hard time
It sure was a hard time my dear
No more
No more
I ain't gonna do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But, I ain't gonna do it
If it ain't real
No, I ain't gonna do it
If it ain't real
No More
