Refugee by Tom Petty

I do like Tom Petty and I had his greatest hits album at one point. I think his early 90's stuff is what got me interested in them and once I started going through his library, I realized that I already knew a lot of his earlier songs, like this one.

We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it

Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it

Listen, it don't really matter to me baby

You believe what you want to believe, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some

Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon

Honey, it don't make no difference to me baby

Everybody has to fight to be free, you see

[Chorus:]

You don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

No baby you don't have to live like a refugee

(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Baby we ain't the first

I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned

Right now it seems real to you, but it's

One of those things you gotta feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some

Who knows maybe you were kidnapped tied up,

Taken away and held for ransom

Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby

Everybody has to fight to be free, you see

[Chorus x2]
