ATF: Ups and Downs

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.



High Enough
Damn Yankees
I don't wanna hear about it
Anymore
It's a shame I've got to live without you
Anymore
There's a fire in my heart
A poundin’ in my brain
It's drivin’ me crazy
We don't need to talk about it
Anymore
Yesterday's just a memory
Can we close the door
I just made one mistake
I didn't know what to say
When you called me baby

Don't say goodnight
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way

Can you take me high enough
To fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday’s just a memory
Yesterday’s just a memory

I don’t wanna live without you
Anymore
Can’t you see I’m in misery
And you know for sure
I would love and die for you
And I’d know just what to do
When you call me baby

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Yesterday’s just a memory away

I was runnin’ for the door
The next thing I remember
I was runnin’ back for more
Yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Don't say goodbye
Say you're gonna stay forever
Oh whoa
All the way
All the way
All the way
Yeah
Yeah

Can you take me high enough
Can you fly me over
Fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Can you take me high enough
Won’t you fly me over
Won’t you fly me over
Yesterday
Can you take me high enough
It's never over
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa



Free Fallin’
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers
She's a good girl
Loves her mama
Loves Jesus
And America too
She's a good girl
Is crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses
And her boyfriend too

It's a long day
Livin’ in Reseda
There's a freeway
Runnin’ through the yard
Now I'm a bad boy
‘Cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy
For breakin’ her heart

Now I'm free
Free fallin’
Yeah I'm free
Free fallin’

All the vampires
Walkin’ through the valley
Move west down
Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys
Are standin’ in the shadows
And the good girls
Are home with broken hearts

Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Yeah I'm free
Free fallin’

Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free Fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m

I wanna glide down
Over Mulholland
I wanna write her
Name in the sky
Gonna free fall
Out into nothin’
Gonna leave this
World for a while

Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free Fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Yeah I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m

Free Fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Oh
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin
Oh
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Free fallin’
Now I’m
Free fallin’
Now I’m

Tom Petty vs. Taylor Swift



American Girl
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die
Tryin' she
Had one little promise
She was gonna keep

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was
An American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone
On her balcony
Yeah she could hear the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves
Crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
When something that's so close
Is still
So far out of reach

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
She was
An American girl

All right



American Girl
Taylor Swift
Well she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there
Was a little more to life
Somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die
Tryin' she
Had one little promise
She was gonna keep

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
Last all night
She was
An American girl

Well it was kind of cold that night
She stood alone
On her balcony
Yeah she could see the cars roll by
Out on 441
Like waves
Crashin' on the beach
And for one desperate moment there
He crept back in her memory
God it's so painful
When something that's so close
But still
So far out of reach

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
Last all night
She was
An American girl

Oooh

Oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh

Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Make it last all night
Oh yeah
All right
Take it easy baby
Oh take it easy
Now now
Oh yeah
All right
She was
An American Girl

TFT: Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers


 

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


I Won’t Back Down
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Well I
Won't back down
No I
Won't back down
You can stand me up
At the gates of Hell
But I
Won't back down
No I'll
Stand my ground
Won't be
Turned around
And I'll keep this world from
Dragging me down
Gonna
Stand my ground
And I
Won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

Well I
Know what's right
I got
Just one life
In a world that keeps on
Pushin’ me around
But I'll
Stand my ground
And I
Won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
And I won't back down

I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I won't back down
I won’t back down
Hey baby
There ain't no easy way out
I won’t back down
Hey yeah
I'll stand my ground
I won’t back down
And I won't back down
I won’t back down
No I won’t back down

The Waiting
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Oh baby
Don’t it feel like Heaven right now
Don’t it feel like somethin’ from a dream
Yeah I’ve never known nothin’ quite like this
Don’t it feel like tonight
Might never be again
Maybe we’d know better
Than to try and pretend
No one could have ever told me about this
Say
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You see one more card
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Well yeah
I might have chased a couple of women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good
As I feel right now
Baby you’re the only one
That’s ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
Say
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You get one more yard
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Oh don’t let it kill you baby
Don’t let it get to you
Don’t let ‘em kill you baby
Don’t let ‘em get to you
I’ll be your breathin’ heart
I’ll be your cryin’ fool
Don’t let this go too far
Don’t let it get to you

Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

The waiting
Is the hardest part
Every day
You get one more yard
You take it on faith
You take it to the heart
The waiting
Is the hardest part

Yeah
The waiting
Is the hardest
Part

Oh oh oh oh oh

It’s the hardest part

Oh oh oh oh oh

It’s the hardest part
