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.

Can't Stop The Sun Lyrics
Tom Petty
Well you may take my money
You may turn off my microphone
But you can't steal
What you can't feel
Can't stop the sun - from shining, shining
Down and down and down
And you may think you control things
But there'll be more just like me
Who won't give in
Who'll rise again
Can't stop the world - from turning, turning
'round and 'round and 'round
Hey mister bussiness man
Be sure to wash your hands
Be careful where you stand
'cause life goes on, and on, and on
life goes on, and on, and on
And you may think it's all over
But there'll be more just like me
Who won't give in
Who'll rise again
Can't stop a man - from dreaming, dreaming
On, and on, and on...
