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 Self-made Man Lyrics
Tom Petty
If he dont wanna talk
Leave him alone
If he dont wanna talk
Leave him alone
Hes a self-made man, he did it on his own
Now some folks say there s a dangerous side
Some folks say hes got a danger side
Hes a self-made man, he knows about pride
So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?
Some folks say it was a woman he knew
So me folks say it was a woman he knew
Hes a self-made man, he knows how to lose
So help me baby, look what love can do
It scares me baby, does it scare you too?
