Thomas Earl Petty (born 20 October 1950 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American musician. Petty is a graduate of Gainesville High School. Petty did not have any musical aspirations before Elvis Presley visited his hometown. After working with his early bands The Sundowners, The Epics, and Mudcrutch (which also included future Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench) he began his recording career with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers when the band broke onto the national music scene with their 1976 self-titled debut album. Still, it took America a full year to catch up to the album.

A One Story Town Lyrics
Tom Petty
Im for standin up, Im for breakin free
I dont want fate handed down to me
Yeah Im for movin on, try another town
Time aint changin nothin, take a look around
Oh, Im lost in a one story town
Where everythings close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
Its a one story town
She was only seventeen
But I held her to her word
Had to push her luck
Thought she couldnt burn
No it didnt hurt me
When she had to leave
She had a far away feeling
Wasnt part of me
Oh, Im lost in a one story town
Where everythings close to the ground
Yeah the same shit goes down
Nothing turns around
Its a one story town
